Explanation
An example is something that shows or explains an idea clearly. Teachers give examples to help students understand a lesson. You can also give an example from your life to explain a point. Examples help people understand instructions, rules, or problems. For instance, showing one correct math problem is an example for others to follow. Examples make learning, explaining, or understanding easier because they show exactly what you mean.
