Make Sense for Dummies

Alright, so the phrase "make sense" is something we often say when we want to understand or make something clear. When we say something "makes sense," it means that it is logical or understandable to us. It's like when you're putting together a puzzle and all the pieces fit together perfectly, and you can see the whole picture and understand how everything connects.

For example, if someone explains a math problem to you and you finally understand how to solve it, you might say, "Oh, it makes sense now!" It's like a light bulb turning on in your head, and suddenly everything becomes clear and easy to understand.

Another way we use the phrase "make sense" is when we're talking about something that is reasonable or practical. For instance, if someone says they're going to wear a winter coat in the summer, you might say, "That doesn't make sense," because it's not logical or practical to wear a heavy coat when it's hot outside.

So, when we say something "makes sense," it's like we're saying that it fits together, is understandable, or is logical. It's all about making things clear and easy to grasp. It's like when you're reading a story and everything starts coming together, and you can see the big picture and understand what's happening. That's when things "make sense."
