Gofluent - An ecoexistence project Flashcards
installed:
To install is to put something in place so it can be used. I installed an operating system and some applications in my computer so I could use it.
“But until he recently installed lights in the coop, his chickens were not laying healthy eggs.”
access:
This refers to a way to be able to use or enter something. I couldn’t access my email because I forgot my password.
“With this partnership, Salem’s business benefits from access to Israeli ports …”
bypass:
This act is avoiding something or someone to do something faster. Although he was a billionaire, he was not allowed to bypass the immigration check in the airport.
“Avital is able to bypass the Israeli bureaucracy by selling more to the growing Palestinian market.”
bureaucracy:
These are complicated government procedures. Some companies avoid investing in countries with too much bureaucracy.
“Avital is able to bypass the Israeli bureaucracy by selling more to the growing Palestinian market.”
maintains:
To maintain is to continue doing something. Donald makes a lot of money in stocks, but he still maintains his day job as a policeman.
“While each engineer maintains his own wind energy business, the two share technologies freely and partner on bigger projects.”
projects:
These are plans of work that often involve a lot of money. The engineers were rushing to complete the construction project that was behind schedule.
“While each engineer maintains his own wind energy business, the two share technologies freely and partner on bigger projects.”
coexistence:
This is a condition where people live with each other peacefully. The partnership of Avital and Salem is a good example of coexistence.
“It may take time but both engineers feel confident that wind energy and coexistence will soon be more closely aligned.”
Grammar Tip: Imperatives
Imperatives are used to give commands and instructions.
- Imperatives can tell people to do something. We can write an imperative sentence starting with the base form of verb and without the subject and “to.” Instead of writing, “You go and buy another one,” we say:
“Go and buy another one.”
- Imperatives can tell people NOT to do something. For this, we use “do not” or “don’t” in the beginning of the sentence.
Do not forget your presentation tomorrow.
- Imperatives can tell people and the speaker to do something. For this, we use “let us” or “let’s” in the beginning of the sentence.
Let’s include the accounting department in the meeting.
More examples:
(You) Be quiet.
(You) Meet me at the lobby.
Don’t (you) forget our meeting tomorrow.
Let’s have lunch at the new restaurant.
