all of the words. Example sentences are a good idea for most words, and there is usually
something else that is also useful to know. Here are some suggestions:
dream: noun and verb; as a verb the past tense and past participle can be ‘dreamed’ but more
common is ‘dreamt’ /dremt/. As a noun it is used with the verb ‘have’; also useful to learn
‘nightmare’ (= bad dream).
empty: # full. Also useful to learn ‘half-empty’ (= ‘half-full’) but seems more negative.
concentrate: the main stress is on the first syllable, and it is followed by the preposition ‘on’. The
noun is ‘concentration’.
forget: irregular verb (forget/forgot/forgotten); # remember.
beard: a picture is the best way to show meaning; it is pronounced /biad/; also useful to know is
‘moustache’.
rescue: synonym = save; noun and verb.
nearly: synonym = almost; usually goes before the main verb except the verb ‘to be’, e.g. We
nearly lost the game; It is nearly 4 o’clock.
knife: a picture is the best way to show meaning; the letter ‘k’ is silent; also important to know
are ‘fork’ and ‘spoon’.
