Coach — partners on lorry cut inside it (8)
I believe the answer is:
instruct
'coach' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for instruct that I've seen before include "Impart skills or knowledge to" , "Direct, command" , "Give lesson or order to" , "Command; teach" , "Teach or give orders to" .)
