Learn Vocabulary from the lesson
related
Technology is also related to the sciences.
If one things is 'related to' another there is a connection between them. Notice the following:
I think your sickness is related to stress.
Is this research related to the presentation you're going to give?
athletic
I play basketball and tennis; I'm quite athletic.
An 'athletic' person is good at sports and physical things. Notice the following:
He was really athletic in high school, but now he's fat.
She has always been really athletic and healthy.
row
I don't row anymore, but I'd like to.
To 'row' means to move a boat with long pieces of wood called oars. When you are alone you row with two oars, but if you are part of a team you may use just one. Notice the following:
We are going to take the boat out and row around the lake for a while.
My shoulders get really tired when I row.
sometime
Do you think you'll pick it up sometime in the future?
If you plan to do an activity 'sometime' in the future it means that you don't know exactly when it will happen. It is an indefinite future moment. Notice the following:
We plan to go to Europe sometime after the kids grow up.
Will you come visit me sometime?
anything else
Is there anything else? Do you have any other memories about high school?
If a person asks if we want to say 'anything else' they are asking for other interesting information or opinions. Notice the following:
Is there anything else you want from the store?
Do you plan to do anything else besides sit on the beach on vacation?
