Vocabulary-Grammar

A vocabulary is defined as "all the words known and used by a particular person. However, the words known and used by a particular person do not constitute all the words a person is exposed to; there are many words that have different forms to be written like plurals, prefixes, suffixes, or even conjugations. (Example: give, gift, gives...)

Some words could have another meaning different from the known (Example: Tire [fatigue]/ Tire [car wheel]) or could have a common meaning with different spelling (Example: Student – Pupil) We have a specific vocabulary for each academic area, like education, music, sciences or in my case architecture. The importance of the vocabulary and grammar is to help people express themselves and to have a better communication  Here we have a small list with important words I have learned: ** Abstract **  existing as an idea, feeling or quality, not as a material object Very near, next to, or touching ** Area ** Particular part of a place, piece of land or country ** Bulk ** Something or someone that is very large ** Commodity ** A substance or product that can be traded, bought or sold ** <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Create **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">To make something new, especially to invent something ** <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Dimension **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">A measurement of something in a particular direction, especially its height, length or width ** <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Draft **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">A piece of text, a formal suggestion or a drawing in its original state, often containing the main ideas and intentions but not the developed form ** <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Fee **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">An amount of money paid for a particular piece of work or for a particular right or service ** <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Isolate **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">To separate something or someone from other things or people with which they are joined or mixed, or to keep them separate ** <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Levy **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">An amount of money, such as a tax, that you have to pay to a government or organization ** <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Notwithstanding **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Despite the fact or thing mentioned ** <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Practitioner **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Someone involved in a skilled job or activity ** <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Quote **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">To repeat the words that someone else has said or written ** <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Retain **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> To keep or continue to have something ** <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Straightforward **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Easy to understand or simple ** <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Thereby **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">As a result of this action ** <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Welfare **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Help given, especially by the state or an organization, to people who need it, especially because they do not have enough money ** <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Whereby **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">By which way or method <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt;">
