ACT Preparation / Unit 4 ACT 0305 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Redundancy
Captions available
The idea
Redundancy repeats a meaning the sentence has already given, with a second word or phrase that means the same thing.
In practice
"Return back," "each and every," "the reason is because," "an annual festival held every year."
Where people slip
Ask what each word adds. If two words carry one meaning, keep one of them.

Every lesson rests on earlier ones and opens later ones. Tap any to jump.
