To annotate something is to write short notes on it — in the margin of a book, on a PDF, beside a line of a poem, or next to a line of computer code — so a later reader (often you) can see what a bit means, where it came from, or why it matters. Teachers ask students to annotate a text: mark the hard words, the main claim, a question in the side. It is not the same as copying a summary at the end. The notes sit next to the exact place they talk about. In offices and labs, people also annotate photos, maps, and data: they tag what is in the picture. The verb is a little formal; in class a teacher might just say “write notes on it.” Though actually, every sentence is not annotating. Real annotating says something extra, even if it is only a few words.
