Hi,

And this, ladies and gentlemen is Word in your Ear number three. The word in question is the verb 'consider'. I have written something which is worth thinking about, I hope.

Hi Alan, thank you for the "Word in your Ear" number three. I found it is very useful as 'consider' is expressed as a noun, verb, adjective & in different tenses: present, present continuous...which are easy to understand & memorable. greatly appreciate. LBui

I'm confused about "take account of". I found it when i read my book and I looked up, learnt by heart it. Is it the simpliest way??? Can you consider to explain me more?!
Thanks so much!

When you 'take account of' something, you bear that thing in mind, you consider it.
