Where will English take you?

repertoire

Write a sentence using the word repertoire in the comments. Practicing new words in sentences will help you remember them, and it allows me to see if your usage and understanding of the word is correct. If you are not sure, guess! Guessing about how to use new vocabulary also helps make it stick. I will provide correction and feedback for your sentence.

It’s also important to practice the pronunciation of a new word. I’ve created a pronunciation loop so you can listen and repeat.

    The choire’s repertoire is impressing.

  2. Amy Estrada

    Good understanding of the word Katrin, but there are a couple of problems. The first is the spelling of “choir’s” and second is “impressing.”

    Correction: The choir’s repertoire is impressive.

  3. azim

    I gather repertoire song some singer.

  4. Mtuca

    The mistake’s repertoire grow up if you don’t change your mind.

  5. Amy Estrada

    Azim, this sentence doesn’t make sense. Try again!

  6. Amy Estrada

    Mtuca, this sentence doesn’t make sense. Try again!

  7. Geraldine

    Coldplay band choose a good repertoire of songs in their last concert.

  8. Hellem

    The artist has a wide repertoire of music.

  9. Amy Estrada

    Excellent sentence, Hellem!

  10. Amy Estrada

    Nice sentence Geraldine, however it sounds more natural to say “Coldplay” and not “Coldplay band.” Another correct option is “The band Coldplay…” The verb must also be in past tense.
    Correction: Coldplay chose a good repertoire of song in their last concert.

  11. MTuca

    Amy, I’ll try again.

    The pretext’s repertoire rises if you don’t change your behavior.

  12. Amy Estrada

    MTuca, the grammar is perfect but it is not logical. The words “pretext’s” and “rises” don’t make sense. Try again.

  13. Nia

    Mrs. Ika always gets us in the mood to learn with a small repertoire of jokes

  14. Amy Estrada

    Very good Nia!
