    Bob refrained from ponderous Encyclopedia and perused only mystery books. He often found himself engaging in histrionics and be confounded and nonplussed when reading such pieces of literary work. However, this did not preclude him from continuing perusing mystery books.

      Using new vocab words in your own sentences is a great way to remember them! If you only hear a word once, that could preclude you from retaining your knowledge. :)

    A plethora of new words might seem like a ponderous and confounding task for one and the only way to learn is to peruse the sentence formation of words and practice and not to get histrionic and nonplussed or it would preclude us from reaching our goal.

    I ain't never heard of any of these words. I always struggle with my vocabulary and never put in any effort to expand it. Now I'm trying to learn words prefix, roots, and suffix to help the pain. My laziness with words is the reason why I want to wait a whole year before I take the GRE.

    Great to lear with you! And found it really helpful 😅
    I would suggest, if this is possible, to write the new words in the video in caption too, this would also easier for us to review it after we’re done with the video. 😅
    Thanks again!
