Thanks Gérard, it's very interesting ! I didn't know that to infer from meant to "reach a conclusion from something"

Not exactly Muriel. The definition you wrote is right but incomplete.MurielB a écrit:Thanks Gérard, it's very interesting ! I didn't know that to infer from meant to "reach a conclusion from something"
For me, "infer" is the opposite of "deduce" (which also has this same definition).
For me "to infer" means: to find out the cause, the origine wheras "to deduce" is to guess the consequence.

Common Ways to Avoid the Word "VERY"
ENGLISHCONVERSATIONS.NET
This list is useful but only shows 2 degrees.
English language is very rich (a bit too much sometimes).
For every adjective, learn at least 2 degrees but also at least the opposite with at least 2 degrees.
If you pretend to be fluent, you need to master a range of words depending on the degrees you want to express; using "very", using "not" don't show fluency but a poor vocabulary.
OK that would be enough to be understood but it's pidgin English!

Compound Words in English
ENGLISHCONVERSATIONS.NET
A compound word is one new word corresponding to merging 2 initial ones.
A similar result -which is not a "compound word"- is a hyphen/dash between the 2 words.
Another similar result -which is not a "compound word"- is a space between the 2 words.
The 3 possible patterns depend on several points: region, time... in the beginning we've got the space- or the hyphen-pattern, then depending on the region -Americans easily use the merged pattern- the tendency leads to the compound word; in a further step people compltely forget the origin.
I don't agree with all of the examples in the list: a few "compoundwords" don't use a second word but a suffix eg friendship (nothing to do with a boat), others are dubious eg butterfly, carpet
