I agree with you. You should not let one or two students take over your class, its obvious that the other students do not understand the subject and why they are not participating.
I would ask the students as a whole that they need to ask questions and take turns and they will be alotted a certain amount of time to ask questions
I have had a similar situation; of course, I would like to be able to answer every question of every student, but that is not realistic. When I have a student who asks many questions, I give a period of time at the end of the class for Q&A. I would ask the students to write down any question during the lecture time and hold off all questions until the end of the class. Additionally, the students can see me after class or e-mail me questions.
Hi Brenda, I would suggest that you discuss her question after class. Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career.

I say the old please let other students answer some questions.
