Definition: To show how to use (something).
Alright class, settle down now, let’s take a look! That dictionary definition – “to show how to use something” – is a pretty good start, you see. But "demonstrates" has a little more glee! Think of it like this: when someone demonstrates a skill, they're not just telling you how to do it, no sir! They’re showing you, step by step, clear and true. Let me give you an example – if I demonstrate how to tie a knot, I wouldn’t just say "do this, then that." I'd actually show you each movement, making it plain for you to follow too. It means to prove something by doing it! It’s about action and display, showing your knowledge in a practical way. So, “demonstrates” is more than just saying "how," it's showing how – that’s the key, my dears! Does that make sense? Any questions before we move on to our next task?
