When we say “that makes no sense”, we are expressing that something is not clear, logical, or understandable. It’s a way of saying “I can’t understand this” or “this is confusing”.
Here are two examples in sentences:
Example 1:
After reading the assembly instructions several times, Tom threw them on the table, frustrated, and said, “that makes no sense”.
Example 2:
Lisa listened to the politician’s speech and at the end, she shook her head and said, “that makes no sense”. She couldn’t understand his policies.
Here are examples in a conversation:
Example 3:
Bob: So, to make the cake, you put the eggs in after it’s baked.
Alice: Wait, “that makes no sense”. You’re supposed to add eggs before baking.
Example 4:
Jessica: I heard that if you go to sleep with wet hair, you’ll catch a cold.
Rachel: “That makes no sense”. Colds are caused by viruses, not by wet hair or being cold.
So, when you say “that makes no sense”, you’re expressing that something isn’t understandable or logical to you. It’s a way to communicate that you are having difficulty understanding a concept, statement, or situation.
