Me: Endure means to put up with. For example, let's say your brother told a really long story and you didn't . . .

Student: But I like my brother's stories!

Me: Ok, let's say you are watching a sports game with your dad and you didn't . . .

Student: But my dad never watches t.v. with us!

Me: Ok, let's say your mom takes you shopping and you don't . .

Student: I love shopping with my mom!

Me: Ok, you do not like hypothetical situations. You cannot endure hypothetical situations. Does that make sense?

Student: Yes!
