Hello, I want to practice the bold words in the sentences below.
Do you have a notion about what he did last night?
Brainstorming is an excellent way to develop ideas to interchange with your colleagues.
Languages are easily interchangeable.
People often can't suppress their negative emotions.
Do you have any pills to alleviate my nagging pain in the knee?
Can you make a bed in the bedroom? Similarly, can you make it also in the children's room?
Some changes skewed company results.
I am still upbeat about the fact that I'll find a soulmate.
What's the outlook for today?
He's struggling these days, Hence, his outlook is drop-dead negative.
Everyone has their own intrinsic worth.
Do you feel extrinsic pressure from your parents to get married?
Smoking is a bad habit and it can cause a detriment to your health.
Children often distort any information they hear.
I discount people who are negative.
Good. Apart from drop-dead all the words could be used in those kind of sentences.
Very good! The problem with writing disjunctive sentences like this, is that they have no context, so it's hard to tell you if they're ok because we don't know in what situation you plan to use them. For instance: What's the outlook for today? Without knowing if you're referring to the recovery of a sick person or if you're asking someone about their plans for the day (which outlook would be incorrect), it's hard to correct you. You would benefit more from using your new words in a narrative of some sort, so that we have an underlying context to relate them to. Other than that, great work!
@Sprouts thank you for your clarification :)
Another example: Do you have any notion of what he did last night? is highly emphatic. For instance, if you were out with your best friend and he did something shockingly horrible, and the next day, you're acting like nothing happened, your parents might ask you this in a shocked tone in the sense "Do you realize what he did?"
@CocoPop you are absolutely right. I will try to write a story with words I want to practice :) But sometimes it's hard to write something meaningful :D
Just make something up. Also, try to use contractions like you're and I'll — they make your English much more natural ;)
