🇬🇧 Teach meaning: English Vocabulary Flash Card

To teach means to help someone learn or understand something new. When you teach, you show, explain, or practice something with another person so they can do it or know it by themselves later. Grown‑ups can teach children, kids can teach each other, and sometimes even animals or computers can ‘teach’ us things by showing patterns. Teaching can happen at school, at home, outside, or anywhere you are learning.
