How do I ask ChatGPT to explain like I am brand new?
You will learn how to ask ChatGPT to explain a topic from the very start.
It is fine to start at the very beginning.
ChatGPT can explain a topic as if it is all new.
No question is too basic to ask.
Try this
- Open ChatGPT.
- Name the topic you want to learn.
- Ask it to explain like you have never heard of it.
- Ask more questions if any part is unclear.
A message you can copy
Please explain [the topic] like I have never heard of it before. Use plain words and simple examples.
Paste it into ChatGPT, then change the words in brackets to fit you. It opens in a new tab, so you will not lose this page.

If one word confuses you, ask ChatGPT to explain just that word.
