C1 English verbs for FLUENCY | speak like a native English speaker!

Welcome back to JForrest English.

I'm Jennifer.

And today you're going to learn the 10 most  common C1 verbs in the English language.

So if you want to sound advanced, if you  want to reach that fluent level in English,  

you absolutely need to know these verbs.

And at the end, I'm going to quiz you to  make sure you really understand these verbs.

Let's get started.

The verbs you're going to learn and the example  

sentences to explain the  verbs are at the C1 level.

What does that mean?

The C1 level is considered an  advanced level of English proficiency.

If you want to be at the C1 level, then you  need to use a wide range of vocabulary and  

complex language structures, and that's  exactly what you'll do in this lesson.

So let's get started with  our 10C1 verbs to advocate.

Advocate.

This means that you support, recommend  or speak in favor of something.

For sentence structure,  you advocate for something,  

you need that preposition for,  and then you have your something,  

a noun or a gerund verb, because you  have the preposition for as an example.

Environmentalists advocate for stricter  regulations to protect endangered species.

If the environmentalists advocate for these  stricter regulations, it means they want them,  

they recommend them, they support  them, and they speak in favor of them.

And notice that preposition for.

Environmentalists advocate  for stricter regulations.

To elaborate, elaborate.

This is when you add more detail or information to  a statement or explanation for sentence structure,  

you elaborate on something, and that something  is your idea, your statement, your explanation.

So notice that preposition here.

We need on advocate for elaborate on.

For example, The professor asks Mark to elaborate  on his research findings during the presentation.

So Mark is presenting he's sharing  information about his research findings.

But the professor said, Can you elaborate on this?

So Mark needs to provide more information,  

more details, and by doing so he's  elaborating on his research findings.

To implement, implement this is when you put  

something into a fact or action or you  apply or carry out a plan or decision.

For example, the company plans to implement  a new marketing strategy to increase sales.

So they're going to implement  this marketing strategy.

They're going to put it into effect.

Once it's in effect, it means it is active,  

it is doing what you wanted it to do,  and notice here you implement something.

So we don't need an additional preposition  between our verb and our noun or clause.

Implement the marketing plan.

Implement the strategy,  implement the recommendations.

To emerge, emerge.

This is when something comes into  existence or becomes visible or apparent.

For example, as the sunset, the city's  skyline, emerged in all its splendor.

The city skyline emerged.

It became visible or apparent.

Apparent is another way of saying visible.

If something is apparent, it means you can see it.

A problem can also emerge, which means  that problem is visible or apparent To  

constitute, constitute this means to be part  of a whole or to form or make up something.

For example, these five sections  constitute the Annual Report.

So these five sections make up the Annual report.

They form the Annual Report.

They're a part of the Annual Report.

So the sections are the individual parts  and the whole is the annual report.

And these five sections constitute makeup or  form the annual report to commence, commence.

This simply means to begin or start something.

Remember that all of these  verbs are advanced C1 verbs.

They are more advanced ways of saying  simple things like start, commence.

But also remember that to be considered  fluent and advanced in English,  

you need to know these alternative ways  and advanced grammatical structures.

So commence is the advanced way  of saying to start or begin.

For example, the conference will commence with a  keynote speech by A renowned experts in the field.

Of course you can simply say start, but to sound  more advanced you can say commence to encompass,  

encompass this means to include or  contain, or to cover or surround entirely.

For example, the project scope encompasses a  

wide range of topics related  to sustainable development.

If it encompasses a wide range of topics  related to sustainable development,  

it means that it includes or contains  these topics and the project scope.

The scope of a project is what  a project will include or cover.

So if it is within the scope,  the project will do it.

If an item is outside of the scope,  well then the project will not do it.

You might need to commence start a new project  

that encompasses that other item  that contains that other item.

To complement, complement, This means  to enhance or complete something by  

adding an additional item that harmonizes with it.

In plain English, it means that you add  something that goes well with it that matches it.

For example, the red shoes  complemented her black dress perfectly.

She has her black dress well.

What color harmonizes with black?

What color goes well with black?

Red, red and black complement each other,  So she chose red shoes to complement her  

black dress to convey, convey this means, to  communicate or express a message or information.

For example, for example, the artist used muted  

colors to convey a sense of  tranquility in the painting.

The artist used these colors  to convey a certain emotion,  

to communicate that emotion,  to express that emotion.

Muted colors are very soft colors.

Tranquility, that is a feeling of calm.

So when you look at this  painting, the feeling is conveyed.

The feeling is communicated or expressed.

To assemble, assemble, this means to gather  or to put together parts to create a whole.

For example, tomorrow let's assemble in the  conference room to discuss the proposal.

In this sense, it means to gather.

So when individuals assemble, first they're  individuals, but then the whole is the team.

So you have the individual members, but then when  they assemble, they combine to form the team.

And it can also mean to gather.

When people gather, they are individuals  and they come together as a whole.

Tomorrow, let's assemble in the  conference room to discuss the proposal.

English language to help you get  to that advanced level in English.
