When we ‘tell’ something, it’s like when you have a secret or a story you want to share with your friend. Imagine you have a treasure box full of your favorite toys, and you want to show them to your friend. ‘Telling’ is like opening that box and showing what’s inside. Your words are like the key that opens the box, letting your friend see what you’re thinking.
Another way to think about ‘tell’ is like being a painter. When you tell someone something, it’s like you’re painting a picture in their mind. If you tell them about your day at the park, you are using words like paintbrushes to create a colorful picture so they can see what you did and how you felt.
‘Telling’ is also like being a musician who plays a song. Each word you say is like a note in the song, and when you put them together, they make a beautiful melody. When you tell someone something, you’re playing a song for them with your words, helping them understand what you want to say.
