If someone is found guilty of a crime, their punishment may be to pay a fine, a certain amount of money. In many countries, fines can be ordered by police, court judges and some government officers.

When agreeing to a contract with a business, a customer may agree to certain rules. If the customer breaks the rules, then they agree to pay a fine for doing so. For example, when somebody hires a car and agrees to return it by Friday, they agree that if they do not return the car by Friday, they must pay a $50 fine to the business.

-Sometimes we often use the word "fine" in the same way for [[business]]es instead of governments. For example there are some businesses that will let us take [[book]]s or [[video]]s to use in our homes for a few days. But if we keep the book or video for too long, we might have to pay a fine to that business.
