Wow.... Those SAT Words

Hello again. I hope that each and every one of you enjoyed your holidays and had a fun time with family and friends. So now that a new year begins it also means that the SAT exam is getting closer by the second. The SAT exam is the exam that basically determines if universities really want you for their schools or not. So I think is really good to stat getting prepared since this is a really hard and determining quiz. So this months blog I’ll be blogging about SAT words but no slang words for this blog since its not related to this blog. So lets begin I suppose:

Superfluous:

· Definition from Merriam Webster: exceeding what is sufficient or necessary, not needed
· My Definition: Unnecessary, or too much of one thing, extra
· How to use is in a sentence: I think that sign that Villa did when he scored that goal was superfluous
· In the sentence it is being said that when Villa scored the goal he did a sign that was very unnecessary or superfluous
· Another Example of Superfluous: If there is sugar in your tea, honey would be superfluous.
· In here it is being said that if you were to put sugar into a cup of coffee that has sugar, putting honey on it would be too much. That would be a really nasty cup of coffee

2. Dilatory:

· Definition from Merriam Webster: tending or intended to cause delay, characterized by procrastination
· My Definition: To always be late, or to be late for a tactical reason or just be late for no reason
· How to use in a sentence: Vincent is always dilatory to class, he is never on time
· What is being said in the sentence is that Vincent is never on time, he is always dilatory or late
· Another way to use dilatory: Jürgen Klinsmann made a change in the 90th minute, so he could waste time, he was being dilatory for a reason and this is why
· What is being said here is that Klinsmann was being dilatory for a tactical reason though so dilatory can also be used in a way to say somebody is wasting time

3. Adept

 

  • Definition from Merriam Webster: a highly skilled or well-trained individual
  • My Own Definition: To be really good at something, highly skilled
  • How To Use in a Sentence: Wow Juninho is an adept in scoring free kicks
  • In the sentence Juninho is very good at scoring free kicks or very adept
  • Another example of using Adept: Wow Fernando an adept when it comes to spelling words
  • In the sentence it is being said that Fernando is very good at spelling or adept


So this blog was without the most common thing: the cool words. But since I’ll only be doing this blog twice. Februaries blog will return back to normal and maybe all add more things since it has been requested lately. I would like to ask though if you guys like my idea of adding two examples instead one of each. Please comment me on this and also please give me some cool words you would like for me to put up on next months blog. Oh and also I would like some slang words too. Thanks a lot for reading my blog and finding it useful.  I’ll write to you guys next time. Good Bye!!!!!!!
