This video covers its function as both a noun and adjective, explores its etymology, and provides examples of correct usage. Avoid common mistakes and expand your understanding of this versatile term.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine you&#8217;re shopping for clothes. You pick up a shirt and feel the fabric between your fingers. That fabric is a material.<\/p>\n<p>But did you know that the word material has more meanings than just the stuff your clothes are made of?<\/p>\n<p>Today, we&#8217;re exploring the word material and its importance for your SAT vocabulary.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Word type:<\/strong> Material can function as both a noun and an adjective.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Meaning:<\/strong> As a noun, material refers to the substance or substances from which something is made. It can also mean information, ideas, or other resources used in creating something.<\/p>\n<p>As an adjective, material describes something that is significant, essential, or relevant.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Word history:<\/strong> The word material comes from the Latin word materialis, meaning of or belonging to matter.<\/p>\n<p>It entered the English language in the fourteenth century through Middle English and Old French.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Antonyms:<\/strong> Some antonyms for material include immaterial, insignificant, unimportant, and spiritual.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Synonyms:<\/strong> Synonyms for material include substantial, physical, tangible, and consequential.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Examples use in sentences:<\/strong> Let&#8217;s look at how to use material in different contexts.<\/p>\n<p>As a noun: The architect carefully selected the building materials for the new eco-friendly house. As an adjective: Her testimony provided material evidence in solving the case.<\/p>\n<p>In a more abstract sense: The professor&#8217;s lectures provided excellent material for the students&#8217; research papers.<\/p>\n<p>Common errors in use: One common mistake is confusing material with materiel. While material refers to the substance something is made of or important information, materiel specifically means military equipment and supplies.<\/p>\n<p>Another error is using material when immaterial is meant. For example, His personal opinion is immaterial to the facts of the case is correct, not His personal opinion is material to the facts of the case.<\/p>\n<p>To wrap up, material is a versatile word that can describe physical substances, important information, or significant factors.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you&#8217;re discussing fabric for a design project or crucial evidence in a debate, understanding the various uses of material will serve you well in your SAT and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>Next time you encounter this word, think about its context and consider which meaning applies. With practice, you&#8217;ll master the material use of material in no time.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SAT Vocabulary: Understanding the Word &#8216;Material&#8217; Learn the multiple meanings and uses of the word &#8216;material&#8217; for your SAT vocabulary.
