(Notes
In no 1 – reimburse – the ‘burse’ part of the verb is perhaps spelt unexpectedly. Notice where the stress lies in no 3 – consequence. Notice in no 6 – straightforward – that the word is one single word! In no 9 you needed to remember the ‘ible’ ending in unintelligible. Henceforth in no 11 is used often enough, but can easily be avoided. In no 14 alleviate needs to ‘l’s. in no 20 people forget either the double ‘p’ at the start of the word or one of the two ‘r’s – usually the second one!
