Don't understand "clear" property

I don't understand how clear property works. We had problems with the caption on the first 3 images so we are fixing the fourth image - first that doesn't make sense. Then I figured we are actually "forcing" the 4th image to go left. But if "the clear property specifies on which sides of an element floating elements are not allowed to float" than why did we say clear: left and not clear:right? I don't know if I'm making any sense i just didn't understand much the logic of fixing this problem :/.

The "clear" element is to add an element previously added then to get rid of it such as "clear: float" would clear all the float for that element.
