The unit to measure speed is m/s which in a straightforward manner implies that x metres is covered per second however the unit for acceleration is m/s^2 which is kind of making it difficult to understand how it works..
I had this thought in the middle of a physics test and have been pondering ever since. Would be great if someone could eli5.

Instead of writing it, try saying it. Your speed is in metres per second; you travel a certain distance every second.
Your acceleration is in metres per second per second; your speed changes by a certain amount every second.
