QUADRUPLE: meaning and examples

Good morning / afternoon / evening everyone, depending on when you are reading this. Welcome back to the Daily Vitamin. I hope you had a great weekend!

Today we are going to look at a word that we use when we talk about the size of things. It can be a verb or an adjective.

Today's word is: Quadruple

Meaning 1 (verb): to become four times as large, or to multiply a number or amount by four.

Sentence 1: During the pandemic she was able to quadruple her income by providing services for people who could not leave their homes. 

Meaning 2 (adjective): four times as big

Sentence 2: In Ziggurat we have quadrupled the number of teachers due to the high demand for language classes.

If you would like some extra practice with this word, I encourage you to create your own original sentences with quadruple as a verb or an adjective. You can post your sentences on one of our social media sites (Facebook or Twitter) and we will give you feedback as soon as possible.

Enjoy the rest of your day and we'll see you tomorrow with another lesson. 

All the best!
