PS: Until now, I haven't come across the word Puerile. Thanks for this great lesson. By the way, I struggled to make a sentence with the word Tactile. I keep wondering why you skipped it


Good work!

Throughout VOCAB-ABILITY, I did not always make a sample sentence for all the words. Even if there were 5 or more words, I generally limited the number of sentences to 4.

Also, I probably could not come up with a suitable sentence for "tactile." So, now, for my readers, I have done some research, and penned the following...

The creature has no eyes, so it finds its way around by using the tactile appendages protruding from its forehead.

Thanks for the extra lesson. I appreciate this a lot. I hope I didn't bother you too much. Take care sir.
