Word of the week 2018

Experience (noun)

Meaning – the process of gaining knowledge or skills from doing, seeing or feeling things.

Example of using it in a sentence "I know from experience that some of you will not do your homework this week.”

Synonyms: endure, feel, have, know, pass, see, suffer, sustain, taste, undergo, witness

It can also mean – something that happens to you that affects how you feel

Example of using it in a sentence “I had pretty good experience at the dentist’s recently.”

Spelling Tip – We have to get the ‘i’ and the ‘e’ in the right order in this word. So, remember this is a ‘ence’ and not a ‘ance’ word and put the ‘i’ in on its own.

Say the sentence “I experience things by being in the middle of it”

ex + per + i + ence

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