Telling for Dummies

Telling means to communicate or convey information or facts. When we tell someone something, we are sharing what we know or think with them. It's like when you tell a story or share details about an event with your friends or family. You are giving them information so they can understand what happened.

There are different ways we can tell someone something. We can use words to speak or write out the information, and we can also use gestures, body language, or even drawings to communicate our thoughts or ideas. For example, if I tell you to sit down, I can use my words to say "please have a seat," or I can use a hand gesture to signal for you to sit. Both ways are a form of telling because I'm conveying the message to you.

Telling can also mean revealing a secret or sharing something that was previously unknown. It's like when you tell a friend a surprise you have planned for them, or when you tell a teacher about a problem you're facing. In these situations, you are opening up and providing information to someone that they didn't know before.

So, to summarize, telling means conveying information or facts, sharing thoughts or ideas, and revealing something previously unknown. It's a way for us to communicate and help others understand what we know or think. Remember, communication is an important skill that allows us to connect with others and share our experiences!
