You are allowed to ask for simpler words. That is a smart thing to do.

ChatGPT can sometimes sound fancy. But it can also keep things plain.

Just tell it how you want the answer. It will follow your lead.

Try this
  1. Ask it to explain like you are new to this.
  2. Ask it to use short, everyday words.
  3. If a word is still hard, ask what it means.
A message you can copy

Please explain [your topic] in very simple words, as if I am new to this. Use short sentences.

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.
