MY VOCAB PRACTICE

  1. The science of making a nuclear bomb is quite complicated.

  2. It's okay as I am not omniscient

  3. However, I like to stay conscious of the new developments around me.

  4. I'm prescient, that's why I take note of corrections


Good work!

@iamthegray, here are a few pointers for you as English is my native language. Hopefully this helps:

  1. You should not place the words "to it" at the end of your first sentence. Otherwise, this sentence is perfect.
  2. It would be better to simply write, "It's okay as I am not omniscient" as your second sentence.
  3. You have a perfect third sentence.
  4. You didn't quite use "prescient" correctly in this sentence. You have used prescient as a noun in the fourth sentence, but it's actually an adjective. "Prescience" is the noun. The difference between the two words is subtle so examine them carefully. A correct fourth sentence would be: "Since I am not prescient, I'll need to read and study these new developments every day."

I hope this helps you learn!

Thanks for this wonderful correction. I'll correct my sentences at once.

I'm very grateful

Blessings
