Hey there! So you want to know what "remember" means, huh? Well, I'm here to break it down for you in the simplest way possible.

Okay, imagine your brain as a super-duper special filing cabinet, and "remember" is like your brain's way of storing important stuff that has happened or that you have learned.

So, when you remember something, it means that you are able to bring back or retrieve information that you have stored in that amazing brain of yours.

Now, let's say you had a fun day at the beach with your family. When you remember that day, this means that your brain is able to recall all the little details of what happened at the beach - the sand between your toes, the waves crashing, the seagulls flying overhead.

Sometimes, we also use the word "remember" when we are talking about facts or information. Like, if you learn that 2+2 equals 4, your brain can store that information in its filing cabinet and when you remember it, you can recall that 2+2 equals 4 without needing to calculate it again.

You might also hear people talk about "remembering" someone, like a friend or a family member. This means that you are able to think about that person and recall memories and experiences you have had with them.

So, to sum it all up, "remember" is the word we use to describe the incredible ability of our brain to bring back or retrieve information, memories, or facts that we have stored in our amazing filing cabinet-like brain.

Now, how about we do an exercise? Can you think of something special that happened to you recently and tell me about it? That way, you'll be practicing your wonderful ability to remember!
