Explanation
A detail is a small piece of information that is part of something larger. For example, if someone describes their day, saying “I woke up early” is one detail. Details make explanations clear and complete. In school or work, paying attention to details means noticing small but important parts, like correct spelling or numbers. As a verb, “detail” means to describe something carefully with all the small parts included. For example, “She detailed her travel plan” means she explained every step clearly.
