Can You Explain It TO Me
hi i’m vanessa from speak english with
vanessa calm and today i’d like to
explain something to you let’s get
started a lot of English learners say my
teachers explained me how to use grammar
Vanessa
will you explain me how to remember
prepositions there’s a little problem
here and today I’m going to teach you
how to naturally use the expression
explain to someone a lot of my students
ask me how can I remember prepositions
and today’s expression is a perfect
example for how to remember prepositions
memorize and learn the entire expression
so today I’m going to teach you explain
to me to help you learn this expression
explain to someone I want to tell you a
little story from my childhood when I
was in high school I hated math class I
mean really hated math class now there’s
nothing wrong with math in fact I really
enjoy math and budgeting and figuring
out numbers now but at that time I
really didn’t like it so every night I
had several hours of math homework it
was so difficult for me but thankfully
my dad is a math genius maybe not a
genius but he is really good with math
he’s an engineer so he uses math
everyday like most of us use math every
day but he uses more difficult math
everyday so when I was in high school
almost every night while I was doing my
homework I would get so frustrated
because I didn’t understand something so
I would go downstairs and ask my dad dad
can you please explain to me how to do
this I don’t understand so he would
patiently explain it to me and even
though I wasn’t always grateful for his
help
now I’m really thankful that I had
someone who lived in my house who was
good at math and good at explaining it
to me and do you know something funny
when my sister my younger sister
got into high school some of the same
math problems that were difficult for me
she asked me to explain them to her and
I could help her learn how to do the
math problems because my dad helped me
so I hope that this little story about
explaining something helps you to
understand naturally how to use explain
to someone we need to use explain to all
together now I have a question for you
when was a time that someone explained
something to you and it was so helpful
you really wanted to know how to do
something and someone explained it to
you make sure that you use explained to
me or maybe you explain something to
someone else I explained it to her I
explained it to my sister I explained it
to Vanessa I look forward to seeing your
