    ⚡ Want to give your English a quick "boost" before the end of the year?

    You're invited to my Masterclass: 100 Phrases From 10 Common Verbs!

    Live class: Tuesday, December 17, at 10:00am U.S. Eastern Time (Check your equivalent local time here)

    You will get: 🔴 Live class + ▶️ Recording + 📖 E-Workbook

    Price: Choose your OWN price! 🤩 (yes... even $1 if you want!)

     

    Masterclass Description:

    You know the common verb “run” - the basic meaning is simple. 

    But we also have different expressions like:

    • running on empty
    • run it by me
    • run into headwinds
    • give someone a run for their money

    You cannot translate these word for word; they won't make sense - and just knowing the basic meaning of "run" will not help you understand them. Instead, you need to learn what the whole expression means. 

    We’re going to take 10 of the most common verbs in English - verbs you already know - like do, make, have, get, and put - and expand your fluency FAST by learning 100 total phrases or expressions using these verbs!

    When you join this masterclass, you’ll get access to:

    ✅ Live session

    ✅ Recording (watch anytime)

    ✅ Workbook with class notes + 300 example sentences + quizzes

    If I was going to set a price for the masterclass and workbook, it would probably be around $20-$25... but I’m actually going to do something a little different.

    ✨ This class will be “pay what you want” ✨ 

    That means YOU can choose whatever price is possible for you. 

    (Yes, even $1!)

    This masterclass is a fantastic way to expand your English fluency before we all get super busy at the end of the year.

    So join me for this masterclass and let's finish 2024 well. 😊

    Hope to see you there!

    30+ Compound Words in English

    🤩 Download FREE lesson PDF 100+ words: https://espressoenglish.lpages.co/free-pdf-100-compound-words/

    ⭐ $1 English grammar e-books: https://courses.espressoenglish.net/1-english-grammar-e-books/

    Let’s learn about compound words in English! This is when two or more words come together, making a new word that functions as a single word.

    Compound words can be:

    • - nouns: ice cream, mailbox, merry-go-round
    • - verbs: babysit, take off, double-check
    • - adjectives: long-term, homemade, bulletproof
    • - adverbs: singlehandedly, self-consciously
    • - prepositions: inside, without

    As you can see from those examples of compound words, there are three types:

    • - "Open" compound words (with a space between them) police officer, hot dog, high school
    • - "Closed" compound words (without a space between them) bedroom, popcorn, firefighter
    • - Hyphenated compound words well-dressed, self-esteem, mother-in-law 

    Today I’ll teach you 30 compound words - some you might already know, but others will be new to you. And I’ve prepared a free PDF with 100 compound words, each one with a definition and example sentence - I highly recommend you download it to expand your vocabulary even more!
