reduction is
# removal of oxygen
example :- CaCO3 → CaO + CO2
here CaCO3 removes oxygens so, reduction oxurr in CaCO3

# addition of hydrogen :
example :- H2 + 2F → 2HF
here F attached with hydrogen .so, here reduction occur in F

# gain of electrons :
example :- 2H+ + 2e → H2 (↑)
hydrogen ions gain electron so, this is reduction reaction.
