What is the difference between polydentate, bidentate, and ambidentate? What are they referring to when it comes to ligands?

Re: -dentate
Polydentates refers to a ligand molecule with more than one donor atom.
Bidentates have two atoms that can bond to a central atom or ion.
Ambidentate are like monodentates where they have one atom that can bond to a central atom or ion, but can do it at two possible locations.
