Virtual words

Believe me, never ever are you going to find a language learning section like this one anywhere in the world of language learning books. The section named Virtual Words is going to fascinate you for sure. Many a times you would say, “yea, it is true, I have been aware of these words for long, but never did I know that they could have been this helpful when it comes to speaking”.

This is my finding that those who speak English better use these words to make their language convincing, clear and impressive. These words are used in all forms and tenses, but when it comes to their lexical forms, they are all the more useful. You will find these words getting into your language very often. But you would have had many occasions in your spoken language learning experience in which you wanted to be expressive in speech but failed to be so and you compromised your thoughts with alternative expressions.

There are ten such select words to help you out in such situations. They are simple and friendly without many linguistic complications. They are as common as find and keep. They are as common as get and look. They are as common as turn and run. And they are as common as seem, make, go and appear.

Let me make it clear here leaving no room for suspense anymore.

They are

o Find and keep
o Get and look
o Turn and run
o Run and appear
o Go and make
These ten ubiquitous words will help you really greatly because they are such flexible words that you would find scores of usages and applications for them in their corresponding slots in the dictionary. The point I would like to make you understand is this; these words are there virtually everywhere in your language.
No more discussion on these words. We are going to see them expressed. You have to study them. Along with that I request you to look for these words when you talk and listen to people. When you read English, keep an eye for these words.

1. Find and keep
2. Get and look
3. Turn and run
4. Run and appear
5. Go and make

Find and keep

1. Find something for me to survive on.
2. Did you find him last week?
3. Finding it difficult, he left his job.
4. Doctors are trying to find a cure for this.
5. I don’t find any reason in it.
6. How do you find India?
7. In the beginning you may find it hard.
8. Government’s funds find their way to wrong hands.
9. We have to find a lot of money for this.
10. Suddenly, I found myself lost.
11. He has found himself like this many times.
12. You will find yourself asking a lot of questions.
13. It is easy to find fault with others.
14. If you want to exist, find your voice and let it be heard.
15. Will you please find me something to write with?
16. Where do you find this much unemployment?
17. How can they find it out?
18. Is it a very big archeological find?
19. They have got many such finds in their museum.
20. How are you going to find it?

Though a good number of sentences above take the word find in almost-same manner, on close observation, you will understand that they all have their own finer and tender difference in meaning or sound of echo.
