Word of the Week

contribute

Meaning that you give something like money, resources or time to help something happen.

Example of using it in a sentence "David contributed the Wakanda; Black Panther CD to the film club and his sister contributed some lovely black panther cupcakes for us to eat."

Here we have another Latin word with the idea of inner thoughts and inner knowledge. The ‘con’ meaning ‘with’ and the ‘tribute’ meaning ‘giving.’ You are making a conscious effort to give to something.

Spelling tip: we are going to say the three sounds here separately con + trib + ute and remembering the ‘e’ at the end

con + tr + i + b + ute

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.
