I just ate some delectable Haribo sweets – I like the white milk bottles and the tiny jelly babies: I think they are delectable, so they are delicious, mouth watering, appetising, flavoursome, flavourful, toothsome, very enjoyable: they taste great!! So tell us about what you find delectable – something that is delicious is delectable…
I was watching a Y6 maths lesson a couple of weeks ago when the word ‘adjacent’ was used when they were doing shape (adjacent angles, I think). Adjacent means when something is next to, or touching, or close by, or near to or neighbouring. Conquer means to invade and overcome another country – so Britain was conquered by the Romans and by the Vikings and the Normans (but we haven’t been conquered for nearly a thousand years now :-). You can also conquer your fear if you become brave enough to do something that used to scare you…If something is commendable, it means that it is good and that you might receive praise for doing it…clearing your neighbour’s snow in winter would be a commendable act. If you interfere with something it means that you get in the way of it, or you get involved in it: you can interfere in someone else’s business. An encyclopaedia is a place where there is lots and lots of knowledge and rustic means something to do with the countryside.
