Here is a good example from geometry that might help you. A point is, according to Euclid, that which has no part, that is, pure location, without extension. We can understand what that means, but we cannot imagine a point with imagining a dot, however tiny, and thus providing extension. A line is length without width. Again, we can conceive of it, but when we imagine lines, however skinny, they always have some width. Etc.
