Possession and transfer – A2–B1 – 001
This 35-word A2–B1 deck (part 1 of the series) covers the verbs you need to talk about getting, giving, and keeping things in English: how you obtain or acquire something (gain, obtain, acquire), how you hand it over or entrust it to someone (deliver, grant, hire), and what happens when you lose it or get it back (abandon, recover, retain). With these words you'll understand news stories about someone winning, losing, investing, or reclaiming something, and you'll be able to say it yourself when you rent out a flat, take on a task, or give something up. The list mixes everyday verbs (grab, toss, waste) with more formal ones (convey, substitute, preserve), so it works in both business and casual conversations.
