Have a guess first. The following might help:
Some of your questions sound a bit rude because you don't understand this yet, so you are doing the right thing learning it.
Imperatives like "Explain this to me" and in another post “Draw timelines to explain the difference” do sound rude because they sound like orders.
Perhaps you could look at how some of the other posters ask questions, and then have a go at answering your own question.
