English vocabulary: use the suffix –ize to create powerful verbs

An effective way to build vocabulary faster is to learn the different forms of words. Don't simply write down a new word in your notebook: write all its forms in other parts of speech.

Turn adjectives into verbs meaning make or become...:
final (adj.) -- finalize (v.)
normalize legalize
optimize nationalize

Nouns can take on new meaning as verbs. In this video we look at the following verbs:

(de) Humanize Monetize Lionize
Capitalize (on) Jeopardize Fraternize
