where are the other words
I was in this class last year and know that it doesn’t help unless you choose words that you do not know so vote wisely!
Mr. Shriver,
So good to have you come by!!! Hope you’re doing well.
HEY YOU GUYS. You guys need to post citation for the words! Gracias 😉
Brandishing- To wave or exhibit in a dramatic or threatening way.
Part of speech- verb
sentence-” I’ve come to shoot your dogs.” he said, brandishing his rifle.(harlow 12)
Okay, so from what I can see, there are two words left- which I think are errant and brandishing. Are these the two words we need to look up the definitions for by ourselves?
(*I forgot the citation*)
Dilapidated- def: in a condition of deterioration or disrepair, as a result of age or neglect. (Adj.)
Sentence: “There, against the city’s crumbling walls, he saw a dilapidated two-story house.” (Avi, pg 6)
where are the other 3 words
Mr.Moshé, i can’t find the other three words. Should i just get them tomarrow????
Word: undaunted
Part of Speech: adjective
Sentence: “‘Ain’t no need gettin’ mad,’ T.J. replied undaunted.”
Definition: Not intimidated or discouraged by difficulty, danger, or disappointment.
Does anyone know where the rest of the words are? It is very difficult to complete a vocabulary chart without all of the words.
My apologies, the part of speech for “jocular” is ADJECTIVE
blasé
adjective
uninterested or unexcited because of constant exposure or indulgence
“The teacher had already sent name a note saying I had a bad attitude. He said I was negative and blase”
–Where’s your source information in parenthetical format – MLA style.
Jocular
part of speech??
meant as a joke; humorous
“I try to sound nonchalant, even jocular (thank you Word Wealth Junior)” (Wiles 90)
Look, you guys, check the dictionary entry carefully. The first entry that comes up (at the top of the page) when you search in dictionary websites is sometimes not the word you may be concerned with, but another form of the word – another part of speech.
MANY of you ON TESTS got definitions wrong for words in the past or used the word improperly in a sentence because you were not careful to make sure the definition and part of speech that you studied matched the way it was used in the sentence.
I fixed the entry below so there will be no confusion. You need to check each other from now on.
