I just want to know if you are talking to your teacher in the class.
Should I say..
1. Yes ma'am. I understood!
or
2. Yes ma'am. I understand!
Even if the discussion is still on going... |

It's understood. (Predicative adjective. Passive form used. No any need for that, I see.) |
Anyhow, my answer would be
I've got it. or
I've understood.
In my opinion, the present perfect tense should be used in such situations. |

It is not necessary, E2.
' I get it' or 'I understand' work perfectly.

work or works?
"or" makes me confused this time.
In addition please allow me to ask additional question about the difference between "necessary" and "necessarily".
necessary ~ adjective
necessarily ~ adverb
Please explain when each of them should be used.
Thanks |

Does this help?
There are two options.
Both of them work perfectly. Both options work perfectly.
One option works perfectly.
Two options work perfectly.
