half of these words are new to me.. thanks for sharing this Paula
Dear Paula,
Sometimes, I forgot about any more, anymore, any way, anyway. Thanks a lot for this blog.
Have a great day! :)
Hi Paula!
I didn't know about these words:
Adduce, deduce, deduct, allusion, allusive, elusive. Although, deduce and deduct sounded familiar to me.
I want to try to use those words in the sentences:
I adduced, I went to the village.
We had to deduce out of five random things, lying in the table.
She deducted the wrong way, when they came to the fork on a road.
He didn't get his boss's allusion to go home earlier and had to work for three hours more.
I like to read the allusive comments, especially if they contain the gifs.
He gave up his elusive dream about the travel to the Mars.
Thank you, Paula, for sharing those interesting words!
