Also, let's skip the definitions this week. Write good, clear example sentences that show you know the difference between each pair.  Use the Dictionary to help. Each pair can be combined into 1 sentence if you can. Example: "She came around the bend, and got her first peek at Wheeler Peak." Or they can be split into 2 sentences. Example: "Please close the door when you leave. He loved his new school clothes."  The list is up, and ready to practice at Vocabulary A-Z.
