Find words related to Facilitate

Question

The idea is to find words related to the word –

F A C I L I T A T E (verbo intransitivo) and then write a simple sentence in English and Spanish for that word.

Or an unusual use of the word.

Example:

It was designed to facilitate the movement of material during construction of the dam.

Fue diseñado para facilitar el movimiento de material durante la construcción de la presa.

Pictures are a good idea.

We are currently looking for a corrector for the Spanish sentences. If you are interested, please send me a PM. In the meantime, please help each other as you are able.

I think I can manage to be the corrector for the English ?

Please encourage everyone by voting for them and me .

This was the previous challenge.

Hola amigo , ¿Que más? - ray76, Mar 4, 2015

it says above that facilitate is an intransitive verb, but wouldn't the example provided (facilitate the movement of material...) be an example of facilitate as a transitive verb? I'm just asking; I'm not an expert in grammar. - malbecblend, Mar 4, 2015

My dictionary says it is intransitive. :) - ian-hill, Mar 4, 2015

Answer 3

Cada vez que algo nuevo se crea para sustituir otra cosa y facilitar su uso, la cosa sustituida no se usa más. Ecribir carta --> correo electrónico --> envío de mensajes de texto.

Every time something new is invented to replace another thing and facilitate its function, the replaced thing is no longer used. Letter writing --> email --> text messaging.

I can't seem to get past email. Text messaging annoys the heck out of me. - AnnRon, Mar 3, 2015
