Hello!
This is a vocabulary game I liked very much. As you know, I like sharing everything with dear friends. Let’s see if you’re going to have better feelings than mine after I was done.
Just add 2 letters to each of the following words (in any place) to form a new word. A clue is given to help you.
Ex : SIT. ------> SIXTH : Ordinal number.
1) SEE ------> .......... : Shop assistants do it.
2) WAY ------> ......... : Very tired.
3) LAY ------> ..........: tall and very thin.
4) CART ------> ..........: a vegetable.
5) RAGE ------> ..........: a fruit.
6) WAR ------> ...........: we can’t do without it.
7) DAY ------> ...........: a short hold up.
8) EAT ------> ..........: nobody will ever escape it.
9) OR ------> ..........: part of an apple.
10) HAY ------> ...........: we would all like to be this.
Hope you’ll enjoy it.
Have fun !

Hello Serena
A very good exercise if you want to prepare yourself for "Motus" !
Is someone interested in
Well, here are my suggestions :
1) serve
2) weary
3) lanky
4) carrot
5) orange
6) aware -I have some doubts, because you can do something subconsciously e.g. : when I succeed in an exercise
7) delay
8) death
9) core
10) happy
Serena, do you really think it's serious to distract this poor old Miss Pernickety from her call of duty
Many thanks for this interesting entertainment and have a great evening,
Serena

Hello !!
Poussy, thank you !! Good job ! I didn't mean to make you suffer like that, but well, I feel somehow happy though!
....Grabuge, you're the only one to find "spleen". That's great!
I'll be right back for the correction.
Réponse: Only 2 more letters…. de serena, postée le 02-06-2005 à 12:02:47 (S | E)
Hey there !
Sorry for the delay. Let me give my personal evaluation to each one of you first.
- biglo: you found 12 words out of 15. Good average!
- jardin: 13 / 15 : great !
For BRANDY
!!! Yes ! . Well, I never knew it was good with coffee. - felin: 10/15: Good job overall.
- poussy: 10/15 without cheating
. Very good !! Really it’s not easy. But tell me, how could you find "economy"?
.... Never mind, it’s ok! - grabuge: nice job ! 12/15. As I told you above, you’re the only one to have found "spleen". This is a characteristic of Baudelaire’s personality. A reason why I could never like him.
To end, here are the words; I put into brackets the meaning in French.
1. RIPE ------> RECIPE: helps you cook (recette)
2. DEAR ------> DREARY: dull or boring (ennuyeux)
3. COME ------> INCOME: opposite of expenditure (revenu)
4. ROW ------> CROWD: a lot of people (foule)
5. TEN ------> OFTEN : frequently (souvent)
6. SAW ------> SHAWL: you wear it (châle)
7. SAD ------> STAND: can be tiring to do this for a long time (se tenir debout)
8. BAND ------> BRANDY: it tastes nice, especially with coffee (brandy)
9. RUG ------> RUGBY: popular game in Wales (rugby)
10. SEEN ------> SWEDEN: a country (Suede)
11. SEEN ------> SPLEEN: a feeling of anger (spleen)
12. CARE ------> CARPET: you walk on it (tapis)
13. SET ------> SHEET: a piece of linen (morceau de tissu / aussi: une feuille de papier)
14. STALE ------> STAPLER : used in an office (agrafeuse)
15. POLE ------> POLITE: opposite of discourteous (courtois, poli)
Thank you all for making this game delightful. I just hope you weren’t very angry with me while doing it. We all know the famous saying:
Spare the rod and spoil the child.......
