Let's face it, now that we're adults, we've basically forgotten everything we learned in school, be it arithmetic, geography, or science. But, is that the case for every subject we studied in school? What about English? Let's find out!
Trying in vain to memorize the meaning of words you never have and never plan on using in everyday conversation is not only boring, but seems completely pointless.

Do you know when to use words like "stimulate", "arouse", and "motivate"?
