Forwarded from Jakhongir IELTS 9.0 💊
Almost everyone got it wrong as I had expected.
➡️ So, here is a little rule for you guys - most words that end with "-ate" [e.g. - intricate, delicate ...] and which are not verbs - the ending in those is almost always pronounced "et" not "eit".
1. Certificate = -ate = pronunciation = "sertifiket" = not "sertifikeyt"
2. Intricate = -ate = pronunciation = "intriket" = not "intrikeyt"
3. Delicate = = -ate = pronunciation = "deliket" = not "delikeyt"
The list goes on:
Here's a list of words that can function as either adjectives or nouns and end with "-ate":
1. Adequate
2. Accurate
3. Appropriate
4. Compassionate
5. Considerate
6. Corporate
7. Deliberate
8. Desperate
9. Elaborate - ''exception'' = not always lekin (Alisher was wrong LOL)
10. Immediate
11. Inadequate
12. Moderate
13. Ornate [istisno = exception] = ends with "-eit"🚫
14. Passionate
15. Private
16. Separate
17. Ultimate
🔴 All of the above end with "-et" => not "eyt"🔴

Ashamed of, not from.
❌Don't say: He's now ashamed from his conduct.
✅Say: He's now ashamed of his conduct.
Note: it isn't correct to use ashamed of meaning shy. Ashamed means feeling shame or guilt about something. Shy means feeling nervous with someone. Instead of saying: I'm ashamed (or shamed) of my teacher, say:
I'm shy of my teacher.
