Kavi Grows a Tiny Answer

"When I ask 'What do you see?' you could just say 'A dog,'" said Kavi. "But we can grow that tiny answer into a whole sentence: 'I see a dog.' A full sentence shares the whole idea. Let's say some together — out loud!"

Watch me grow an answer. Kavi asks: "What do you see?" The tiny answer is "A cat." I grow it with a starter: "I see…". What is my full sentence?
A cat → I see + a cat

Try this at home: Grow this into a full sentence: Question 'What do you see?' Answer 'A dog.'
