Read together

Alex: Shall we talk about abridge and accrue today?

Sam: Yes. I also want to use add in a real sentence.

Alex: Listen — if we hear augment, we write it down.

Sam: Good plan. What about boost and condense?

Alex: We can practice those after abridge.

Sam: I still mix up accrue and add. Can you help?

Alex: Sure. First say abridge, then accrue, slowly.

Sam: abridge, accrue… okay. Now add.

Alex: Clear. Let's add augment before we finish.

Sam: Done. Common Verbs in English: quantity 1 practice feels useful now.

Alex: Tomorrow we review abridge, accrue, add, augment again.

Sam: Agreed. Short talk, strong words.
