Consider that in conductors there are many free electrons, which means that electric current flows in a easy way, in comparisson with another kind of materials.

Whereas in insulators electrons are strongly linked to the atoms or molecules, which means that electric current is low.

Then:

An insulator is a material in which charges will not move easily, whereas a conductor is a material that allows charges to move about easily.
