RE: Vocab-ability–19 (belli, bel = war) – A More Powerful Vocabulary (earn UpVotes with “Vocab Practice” exercise)
MY VOCAB PRACTICE
- Rebel
Government troops have succeeded in capturing the rebel leader. - Belligerent
Apparently I became belligerent and he stepped in front of her. - Antebellum
In antebellum days, free persons of colour were musicians, poets, journalists, business entrepreneurs, and landlords. - Casus belli
A country discovering a successfull assassination, supporting rebels or desecration of holy site now gets a casus belli against the offender.
#3 is plagiarized. It's a direct copy-paste from this site. http://sentencedict.com/antebellum.html
Can't we google for some typical words?
Of course, you can google any words, and you can research any words and their definitions, and you can search for any other sample sentences.
But you canNOT copy-paste a sentence and pass off that sentence as your own writing. It's not your own.
The VOCAB PRACTICE exercise is intended to be a chance for you TO PRACTICE THE VOCABULARY BY USING IT in a sentence of your own creation. That's what "practice" means and that's how you will learn.
If you PRACTICE successfully, and if I read that your created sentence indicates that you understand the vocabulary, then I will give you an upvote.
If you simply google for an example and then copy-paste it in the answer, then you have NOT PRACTICED it. And if you copy-paste, then you will not learn. In those cases, I have no reason to give you an upvote.
Please read the VOCAB PRACTICE box in my post. Read point "B", and read Rule #3.
I hope you understand.
I will not do this in future, incase I find a difficult word, I will use Google to understand that word and get information about that and will not directly copy that. MY VOCAB PRACTICE really means to increase your Vocabulary day by day.
yeah, we are here to increase our vocab!
try to make your own sentences cuz you are gonna use these words in your future conversations!
Thanks to both of you. The reason for Vocab-ability and Vocab Practice is to teach you these words, to present them in an easy-to-understand format, and to help you learn to use them.
If you follow the rules and proper procedures, this initiative will be a success, and you will gain essential knowledge of English that will probably benefit you in the future.
Good luck!
No man!
Thank you for creating a learning environment for all of us!
And the twist is you get rewarded for your leaning!
amazing man!
hat's off!
I agree
yeah, you should be!
use google to clear your mind about specific words.
Get the knowledge you wanted!
now try to relate that word to your personal life where it fits in your life and where you can use it to make a sentence!
you will be amazed to see,
there will be many sentences :)
Have a good day!
blessings!
