Okay, let's make that explanation kid-friendly!

• "To conclude":

  • Imagine you've told a story, or explained how to build a LEGO tower. "To conclude" is like saying, "And that's the end!" or "So, in short..." It tells everyone you're about to say the most important things one last time.

  • Use it when: You're finishing up and want to tell everyone the main idea really quickly.

• "For example":

  • If you say, "Animals can be very different," "for example" is like saying, "like when..." Then you might say, "like when a cat meows and a dog barks!" It helps people see what you mean.

  • Use it when: You want to give a real-life idea to show what you are talking about.

• "Instead":

  • If you wanted ice cream, but your mom gave you a popsicle, you could say, "Instead of ice cream, I got a popsicle." "Instead" means you got something different.

  • Use it when: You want to show that something else happened or that there is another choice.

• "In other words":

  • Sometimes, big words are hard. "In other words" is like saying, "let me say that again, but easier." If you said, "That was a tremendous storm," you could say, "In other words, it was a really big storm!"

  • Use it when: You want to say something again, but in a simpler way, so everyone understands.
