Recently, the BESIII collaboration has reported numerous measurements of various D(s) meson semileptonic decays with significantly improved precision. Together with similar studies carried out at BABAR, Belle, and CLEO, new windows to a better understanding of weak and strong interactions in the charm sector have been opened. In light of new experimental data, we review the theoretical description and predictions for the semileptonic decays of D(s) to a pseudoscalar or a vector meson. This review is essentially an extended discussion of our recently published results obtained in the framework of the covariant confining quark model.

Introduction
One of the fundamental ingredients of the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics is the Cabibbo–Kobayashi– Maskawa (CKM) matrix [1, 2] which describes the quark mixing and holds the key to CP -violating phenomena. Precise determination of the CKM matrix elements is therefore crucially important. In this respect, semileptonic weak decays of mesons play an important role in our understanding of the SM since they provide the most direct way to extract the CKM matrix elements from experiments. Purely leptonic decays of mesons can also be used for the same purpose,
