If so, you&#8217;ve experienced something by chance.<\/p>\n<p>Today, we&#8217;re going to learn about the word chance, an important vocabulary item for your IELTS preparation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Word type:<\/strong> Chance can be used as both a noun and a verb in English.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Meaning:<\/strong> As a noun, chance means the possibility of something happening, especially something good or something you want.<\/p>\n<p>It can also mean an opportunity or a situation that allows something to happen. As a verb, to chance means to do something without planning it, or to risk doing something.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Word history:<\/strong> The word chance comes from Old French, which got it from Latin. It&#8217;s been part of the English language for hundreds of years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Antonyms:<\/strong> Some opposites of chance include certainty, sureness, and inevitability.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Synonyms:<\/strong> Words with similar meanings to chance include opportunity, possibility, likelihood, and prospect.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Examples use in sentences:<\/strong> Let&#8217;s look at how to use chance in sentences. As a noun: There&#8217;s a good chance of rain tomorrow, so take an umbrella.<\/p>\n<p>Or: He didn&#8217;t give me a chance to explain. As a verb: I chanced upon an old friend at the supermarket.<\/p>\n<p>Common errors in use: Be careful not to confuse chance with occasion. We say take a chance, not take an occasion.<\/p>\n<p>Also, remember that when we talk about possibility, we say there is a chance, not there is chance. Chance is a versatile and common word in English.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s often used in everyday conversations and in IELTS speaking and writing tasks. Practice using it in different contexts to improve your vocabulary skills and boost your IELTS score.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Understanding &#8216;Chance&#8217;: A Key IELTS Vocabulary Word Learn about the word &#8216;chance&#8217; for your IELTS preparation.
