Teacher: Hey there! I see you're curious about the phrase "in part." Great question! So, "in part" is a phrase we use when we want to say that something is partly true or partly happening. It's like saying, "Okay, this is true, but there's also another side to it."

Let me give you an example to help you understand better. Imagine you have a big slice of pizza, and someone says, "I ate the whole pizza!" But you know that's not true because you saw them leave a little bit of crust on the plate. So, you could say, "Well, that's not entirely true. You did eat most of it, but in part, you left some crust behind."

Another way we use "in part" is to talk about things that have multiple factors or aspects. Imagine you're building a sandcastle at the beach with your friends. One of your friends is great at building tall towers, while another is excellent at creating intricate details. However, you're best at digging the moat around the castle. So, we could say that each of you is contributing "in part" to building the sandcastle, with your special skills.

So, in simpler terms, "in part" means that something is not entirely true or happening, or it could refer to multiple factors contributing to a bigger thing. It helps us acknowledge that there's more to the story or more people involved in a situation.

I hope that clears things up for you!
