WORDY WEDNESDAY: ZIGGURAT BLOG 'SUM UP': meaning and examples
Hello everyone! Good morning.
For today's Wordy Wednesday for The Daily Vitamin, we are looking at vocabulary used in a former Ziggurat Blog post. The post, by a student named Patricia, is about the series "Revenge." In her review of the series, Patricia uses the expression TO SUM UP. It's a great phrasal verb, so today we are using it as our Wordy Wednesday vocabulary!
Definition: to give a brief summary.
Example 1: He summed up the book with a quick explanation of the plot.
Example 2: If I could sum up my trip to the Grand Canyon with one word, it would be "amazing!"
Example 3: He summed up his dissertation for us, and I was so impressed that I decided to read his entire paper.
Thank you, Patricia, for your wonderful article about the series "Revenge." It sounds very entertaining! To read Patricia's review, click on the following link.
