This video covers pronunciation, definition, synonyms, antonyms, example sentences, and common errors to avoid when using this essential adjective.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine you&#8217;re starting a new job, and on your first day, your manager tells you that all systems are operational.<\/p>\n<p>What does that mean exactly? Today, we&#8217;re going to explore the word operational, an essential term for IELTS learners aiming for a band score of 6.5 and above.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Word type:<\/strong> Operational is an adjective. It&#8217;s pronounced as op-uh-REY-shuh-nl, with the stress on the third syllable.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Meaning:<\/strong> Operational means ready for use or able to function. It describes something that is working, in effect, or ready to be used.<\/p>\n<p>In a broader sense, it can also refer to things related to the routine functioning or operations of a business or organization.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Word history:<\/strong> The word operational comes from operation, which has its roots in Latin. It entered the English language in the early 20th century, becoming more widely used during World War II in military contexts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Antonyms:<\/strong> Some antonyms or opposite words for operational include non-operational, inoperative, non-functioning, and out of order.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Synonyms:<\/strong> Synonyms or similar words for operational include functioning, working, in working order, and active.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Examples use in sentences:<\/strong> Let&#8217;s look at some examples of how to use operational in sentences. The new factory will be fully operational by next month, creating jobs for hundreds of local residents.<\/p>\n<p>After the power outage, it took technicians several hours to get all the computer systems operational again.<\/p>\n<p>The project manager ensured that all team members understood their operational responsibilities before the launch.<\/p>\n<p>The space station has been operational for over two decades, conducting various scientific experiments in orbit.<\/p>\n<p>Common errors in use: One common mistake is confusing operational with operative. While they&#8217;re similar, operative is more often used to describe a person who is active or working in a particular role, especially in espionage contexts.<\/p>\n<p>For example, you wouldn&#8217;t say an operative computer, but rather an operational computer. Another error is using operational when talking about abstract concepts where functional might be more appropriate.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, it&#8217;s better to say a functional relationship rather than an operational relationship. To wrap up, understanding and correctly using the word operational can significantly enhance your IELTS performance.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a versatile adjective that&#8217;s particularly useful in describing the working status of systems, equipment, or organizations.<\/p>\n<p>Remember its pronunciation, meaning, and appropriate contexts, and you&#8217;ll be well on your way to using it effectively in your IELTS exam and beyond.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Understanding &#8216;Operational&#8217;: Key Vocabulary for IELTS Success Learn the meaning, usage, and importance of the word &#8216;operational&#8217; for IELTS learners aiming for a band score of 6.5 and above.
