Word of the Week
competent
Meaning having the necessary ability, knowledge and skills coming together to be successful.
Example of using it in a sentence "Johnny is competent at Spanish because he learns at home and practices on his Spanish holidays."
This is another word that comes from the Latin word meaning ‘together’ this time partnered with ‘using that togetherness to be successful’.
Spelling tip: we need to make note that this is the ‘ent’ family and not the ‘ant’ family.
com + pet + ent
Use the word as many times throughout the week. This can be verbally, in your written work or listen out for other people using it.
