What does TEACH mean in Scrabble?
verb
To impart knowledge, information or a skill to someone, especially through instruction or example.
To teach is to help another person learn something, whether that is a school subject, a practical skill or simply a lesson drawn from experience. The word covers structured settings, such as a class taught by a professional teacher, as well as informal moments, such as a parent showing a child how to ride a bicycle. Teaching can also mean showing someone, through consequences, not to repeat a mistake, as in the phrase that will teach him. Across all these uses, teach centres on transferring understanding or ability from one person to another.
