Word of the Week

committee

Meaning a group of people who join together to carry out a task or function.

Example of using it in a sentence "The housing committee is made up of people who work in the housing industry (landlords) and the tenants."

This is another word that comes from the two Latin words meaning ‘together’ and ‘entrust’. Here it means a group of people entrusted to the right thing for other people.

Spelling tip: In order to get the correct number of ‘m’s’ in to the word we will spell it how we say it.

com + mit + t + ee

Use the word as many times throughout the week. This can be verbally, in your written work or listen out for other people using it.
