Comment

Whenever you learn a word you should learn other members of the word family. That way you get two or more words for the price of one [idiomatic language]

Make a note of good sentences that show you the patterns. For example I prefer dogs to cats.

Put your new sentences in Anki to ensure that you remember them forever.
