Definition: To make somebody able (to do, or to be, something); to give sufficient ability or power to do or to be; to give strength or ability to.

Alright class, settle down and let’s take a look! Today we’re tackling the word “enables,” which can feel a little tricky at first. The dictionary gives us a good starting point – it says it's about making someone able to do something, or just being something. Let's break that down with a rhyme: “Enables” means to give you the key, To unlock what you’re meant to see! It grants you the power, the skill, To climb up your personal hill.” Think of it like this: if someone enables you to paint, they've given you the brushes and paints – they've provided you with the ability to create. Or, if a strong wind enables a kite to fly high, it’s giving the kite the force it needs! It also means providing strength or power - like helping someone overcome a challenge. Essentially, “enables” is about making something possible. It's about removing obstacles and letting things happen. Do you have any questions? Let's discuss how "enables" shows up in sentences – can anyone give me an example of when they might use this word?
