Hello, everyone, and welcome back to another episode of "Hello Word!" I’m Alex, your host, and today we’re diving into a very motivating word that can inspire us to reach our goals. Our word of the day is accomplish. It’s a verb that means to successfully complete or achieve something, usually through effort or determination. Think of the sense of pride and satisfaction that comes from being able to say, “I did it!” When we accomplish something, we make progress toward our goals or finish a task that we set out to do. Now, let's talk about some synonyms for accomplish. These words share a similar meaning and help us express the idea of successfully completing something. For example, achieve is a synonym that we can use when we talk about reaching a goal, as in, “She worked hard to achieve her dream of becoming a teacher.” Another synonym is complete. We might say, “He will complete his project by the end of the week.” Lastly, fulfill is often used when we talk about meeting a goal or responsibility, as in, “They wanted to fulfill their promise to support local charities.” On the flip side, let’s explore a few antonyms. These are words with opposite meanings, which can help us understand accomplish even better. One antonym is fail, which we use when someone is unable to finish or reach a goal. For instance, “Despite her efforts, she didn’t want to fail in her attempt to win the race.” Another antonym is abandon, which means to stop trying to achieve something, like in, “They had to abandon the project because of budget cuts.” Lastly, quit also contrasts with accomplish. When someone decides to stop working toward something, we might say, “He didn’t want to quit halfway through the program.” Let’s bring this word into everyday life. Imagine you’re working on a big project for school or work. Once it’s done, you can proudly say, “I was able to accomplish my project ahead of schedule.” Or if you set a goal, like learning a new language, you might say, “This year, I want to accomplish my goal of becoming fluent in Spanish.” We often use accomplish when talking about things we set out to do and complete successfully, whether they’re big goals or simple tasks. For example, you might tell a friend, “Today, I want to accomplish a lot on my to-do list!” Here are a few more examples. “He hoped to accomplish all his tasks by the end of the day.” “By practicing daily, she was able to accomplish her goal of running a marathon.” “We worked as a team to accomplish the company’s mission.” In each of these sentences, accomplish conveys the sense of putting in effort to reach a successful outcome. To wrap up, we’ve learned that accomplish means to successfully complete or achieve something. We explored some synonyms like achieve, complete, and fulfill, along with antonyms such as fail, abandon, and quit. It’s a powerful word that brings to mind determination and success.
