Contact and physical actions – B2–C1 – 002
This deck collects advanced English verbs about physical contact and action — how you grip, strap, wrench or patch something up, and how you describe subtle body movements or more abstract situations like making a sacrifice or giving up a right. Among the 31 words are DIY and repair verbs (wrench, chisel, unplug, tinker, plaster, graft) alongside terms common in news articles and formal writing (neutralise, impede, relinquish, degrade). At B2-C1 level, these words sharpen how precisely you read articles, novels and professional discussions. This is part two of the topic, built to stand on its own.
