A while ago I posted an exercise to help you increase your vocabulary. That lesson focussed on verbs A to H, so now we are going to look at some verbs from I to P, some of which you may know and some of which you might not. Each sentence needs one of the verbs below Find the meaning of the verb and match it to the correct sentence. Then, from memory, try to write your own list of verbs from I-P. Good luck!
Identify - to recognize somebody/something and be able to say who or what they are
Justify - to show that somebody/something is right or reasonable
Knock - to hit a door, etc. firmly in order to attract attention
Lift - to raise somebody/something to a higher position or level
Mention - to speak or write about something/somebody, especially without giving much information
Nag - to keep complaining to somebody about their behaviour or keep asking them to do something
Organise - to arrange something or the parts of something into a particular order or structure
Prefer - to choose one thing rather than something else because you like it better
Choose the correct verb to complete each sentence:
