Word of the Week

immediate (adjective)

Meaning – occurring or done at once.

Example of using it in a sentence: "Nicola took immediate action!”

Synonyms: instant, instantaneous, prompt, swift, speedy, rapid, quick

It also meanings – nearest in time, relationship or rank

Example of using it in a sentence: "no changes are planned for the immediate future!”

Synonyms: recent, soon, in the near future, next in line

Spelling Tip – this is an “im”, not an “in” word. Say the word over emphasising the “iM” and “Med” so you get both ‘MM’s in!

im + med + i + ate
