There are a few specific outdoor surfaces that are called a floor:
the ocean floor,
the forest floor, the floor of a cave.
All other outdoor surfaces
are called the ground. After it rains,
the ground may be
wet and muddy. An airplane leaves the ground
when it takes off, and a subway is a
train that runs underground (under the surface of the earth).
The word
grounds refers to the land surrounding a large building.
The school
grounds means the area of property around
the school building,
which belongs to
the school. Hospitals, castles, palaces, and mansions may also have grounds. (The
tiny area of land around individual
houses is typically called a yard).
