This video covers its definition, synonyms, antonyms, and provides examples to help you use it confidently in your IELTS exam and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine you&#8217;re at a job interview, and the interviewer asks how you plan to obtain the necessary skills for the position.<\/p>\n<p>Would you know how to respond using the word obtain correctly? Today, we&#8217;re going to explore this useful word to help boost your IELTS vocabulary.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Word type:<\/strong> Obtain is a verb. It&#8217;s an action word that describes the act of getting or acquiring something.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Meaning:<\/strong> To obtain means to get, acquire, or secure something, especially through effort or by request.<\/p>\n<p>It often implies a deliberate action or process to gain possession of something.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Word history:<\/strong> The word obtain comes from Latin, combining ob meaning towards and tenere meaning to hold.<\/p>\n<p>It entered the English language in the fifteenth century.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Antonyms:<\/strong> Some opposites of obtain include lose, forfeit, surrender, and relinquish.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Synonyms:<\/strong> Words with similar meanings to obtain include acquire, get, gain, procure, and secure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Examples use in sentences:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Here are some examples of how to use obtain in different contexts: The researcher had to obtain permission before conducting the experiment.<\/p>\n<p>It can be challenging to obtain a visa for some countries. The company obtained a patent for their new invention.<\/p>\n<p>Students must obtain a passing grade to move on to the next level. Common errors in use: One common mistake is confusing obtain with attain.<\/p>\n<p>While both involve getting something, obtain is typically used for tangible objects or specific permissions, while attain is often used for achievements or goals.<\/p>\n<p>For example, You obtain a degree, but you attain success. Another error is using obtain with abstract concepts that are typically earned or developed.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, it&#8217;s incorrect to say You obtain experience. Instead, you gain or acquire experience. Lastly, remember that obtain is a formal word.<\/p>\n<p>In casual conversation, it&#8217;s often more natural to use get or receive. To reinforce your understanding of obtain, try using it in your own sentences.<\/p>\n<p>Practice incorporating it into your speaking and writing, especially in formal contexts. This will help you use it confidently and accurately in your IELTS exam, bringing you closer to that band score of 6.5 or even higher.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Use &#8216;Obtain&#8217; Correctly: IELTS Vocabulary Boost Learn the meaning, usage, and common mistakes associated with the word &#8216;obtain&#8217;.
