To diagnose means to find out what is wrong, just like a detective trying to solve a mystery!

Let’s say you feel sick. A doctor uses special tools and asks questions to figure out why you don’t feel good. This is called diagnosing. They might say, 'You have a cold!' or 'You have an earache!' Once they know what the problem is, they can help you feel better.

It’s not just doctors who diagnose things; sometimes teachers diagnose why a student isn’t doing well in school. They might say, 'I see you’re having trouble with math, let’s work on that together!'

So remember, to diagnose means to look carefully at something to understand what’s happening and how to help fix it!
