Confuse
Definition 1 of 3
Pro Tip 1/3
Temporary State
Use 'confuse' to describe a temporary lack of clarity, not a permanent state. I'm confused by this paragraph, could you explain it?
Pro Tip 2/3
Question Clarity
When a question 'confuses you', it's usually because it's not clear or has many possible answers. I was confused by the multiple-choice options; they seemed similar.
Pro Tip 3/3
Express Uncertainty
'Confuse' can express that you're unsure or have doubts about something. I'm confused about our homework; did we have to write an essay?
