teach
Show someone how
To teach is to help someone learn—passing on knowledge, skills, or understanding through instruction or example.
Teachers teach students; parents teach children right from wrong.
The word extends beyond formal education: Life taught her to be cautious.
To teach someone a lesson is to give them a punishing experience they won't forget.
That'll teach you means the consequence should prevent repetition.
