It is hard to give a definition of energy that is both easy to understand, and at the same time correct.One way to think about it is that it is one of several quantities that is conserved under normal circumstances.

There are different types of energy, and (with some restrictions) you can convert from one type to another, but (again, under normal circumstances) the total amount of energy won't change.
