To build on means to add more information or ideas to something that has already been said or done. It is like adding more layers to a cake to make it bigger and better. It helps to make your writing or speaking more detailed and interesting.
Remember, building on also means connecting new information to what you already know. Think of it like building a puzzle - each piece adds to the whole picture. Keep connecting the dots!
