Why Practice is a Must in English Language Learning
The dynamics with which one learns one’s mother-tongue are vastly absent in second language learning. This makes repetition extremely important to vocabulary and broader language acquisition for non-native speakers.
However, while building in repetition we have spaced out the rhyming words in a manner that keeps boredom at bay for learners. Repetition is also an essential element in building cognitive skills for faster learning. Read what experts have to say here.
However, note that that simply learning English rhyming words without knowing their meaning and right usage serves little purpose. So, attempt these rhyming words exercises and see how well you score. Find answer keys below each exercise set.
