TO SMUGGLE

Good morning, everyone, and welcome back to the Daily Vitamin. I hope you are having a good week.

Today we finish up our series of Daily Vitamins about crime words.

Today's Word is: to smuggle

Meaning: to take someone or something secretly and illegally into or out of a place, especially as a way of earning money.

Example 1: In most countries, the penalty for smuggling drugs is very harsh.

Example 2: The last time I went to California, I smuggled ham (not jam) into the country. To be honest, I was a little bit nervous in the airport.

The person who smuggles is a smuggler.

Example 3: Most people feel that drug smugglers deserve more severe punishments.

⇒ To get some writing practice, I encourage you to write your own sentence, or two, with today's crime words. You can post your sentences on one of our social media sites (Facebook or Bluesky) and we will give you feedback about your writing ASAP.

We'll be back tomorrow with our last lesson of the week.

I hope you have a great day!
