When we do these activities, we may ask for instructions, describe a thing, give instructions and/or check understanding. These activities are often intermingled in a single conversation. When describing an object, a piece of equipment, a machine or a gadget to another person, we explain its size, shape, color, material, appearance, use and functions. There is usually a little difference between telling someone how something works and instructing them how to use it themselves. When explaining how something works, a more general description is given, whereas when giving instructions, more details are needed and more repetitions too. Also, when giving instructions, we often link the steps like this: “The first thing you have to do is...” or “Make sure you remember to...” and many other expressions. If you are giving instructions to someone, you’ll probably have to check as you go along by asking questions like“Areyou withme?”toseeifyourlistenerhasunderstood.
