Explanation
To describe means to explain or tell about something so that someone else can understand it. You can describe a person, place, object, or event using words. For example, if you describe an animal, you might say its colour, size, and how it behaves. Describing helps people imagine things even if they cannot see them. Teachers often ask students to describe things in writing or speaking to show understanding.
