hi everybody welcome back to top words
my name is Alisha and today we're gonna
talk about ten words for using computers
and email to save the first word is to
save to save to save a file to save a
document to save means to keep something
like you you save the file you keep it
on your computer to use or open later or
to send later so to save the file is to
keep it to hold it on your computer in a
sentence did you save the file to undo
the next word is to undo to undo this is
a verb so here we have undo so unmeaning
on
so it's a negative prefix do is to do
something like to take action so to undo
can be used in many different programs
so it means to remove the last thing you
did to take back to go a step back in
your activities in your document so you
can undo changes you can undo I don't
know something in Photoshop you can undo
also you can you you can undo for
example like jewelry to undo a clasp
clasp is the little like piece that
holds jewelry together so to undo it is
to remove it to take it off you can use
undo for computers also in a sentence I
have to undo these changes to edit the
next word is to edit to edit means to
fix or to change to revise something to
make something different than it was
before so to edit something means to
make changes to something so there's
usually an edit menu in like a Microsoft
Word or iTunes or something like that
many menus have an edit subsection so
you could edit within the edit section
there are many
different things that you can change or
settings that you can change for example
you can also use edit outside of
computers for example to edit a document
or to maybe edit information in your
phone I don't know
but yeah you can use edit to mean change
something or to update or revise in a
sentence he edited the file last night
to rename a file the next expression is
to rename a file to rename so here we
have renamed as our primary verb the
main verb is rename name means to call
something to name a file to give a name
to something re means again so to rename
a file means to give a file a different
name a new name so in a sentence I
renamed all the files in the folder to
restart a computer the next expression
is to restart a computer to restart a
computer so you turn off the computer
one time and it automatically turns back
on so that's called restarting to
restart a computer again we see this re
prefix re again and start restart a
computer in a sentence I need to restart
to my computer to attach a file ok the
next expression very useful for email is
to attach a file to attach a file means
to to attach a file to an email really
or to a message so usually there's like
a paperclip icon or you just you can
just attach I don't know you you connect
a file to a message we say that's
attaching making an attachment is the
noun form an attachment in a sentence
the file is attached to this email to
send a file the next word is to send a
file to send a file or to send an email
as well so to send something as you
would use the same verb for mail like to
send
a package or to send a letter we use to
send a file to so in a sentence I sent
you a file with all the information
yesterday to receive the next word is to
receive to receive means to get so
someone sends a file you receive the
file you get the information someone has
sent you that's to receive in a sentence
did you receive my email about the
project to shut down a computer the next
expression is to shut down a computer to
shut down a computer usually computers
say shut down means turn off to turn off
or to cut power so to stop using the
computer the computer is off we say shut
down a computer in a sentence I shut
down my computer every day to unplug
finally some word that some students
have trouble with it's kind of strange
to unplug to unplug so here we have
again as we talked about with undo
meaning remove or not and plug so so to
remove plug means to take the plug I
don't have one the candy that's okay so
headphones these are huge so headphone
when they're plugged in we say to plug
in we can use this for any kind of power
using device anything when you're
finished with it however we just say to
unplug that thing so we say but we don't
say plug we don't say to plug I need to
plug my bla bla bla we say it like we
use plug that plug we use from marketing
words like I'm here to plug my book I'm
here to plug my new movie so when you
remove its to unplug like to unplug my
headphones to unplug my computer but
when you put it in its to plug in
something we do not say plug out isn't
this a weird word like a weird pair and
be careful so like to plug in those are
two separate words too well in the
infinitive form plug plus in but be
careful up
pluggin as a noun is a different thing
like unlike a wordpress template or like
in in a software that you use plug-in is
all one word there's no space between
plugin in that's the noun form plug-in
however is the verb form all kinds of
bonus words here so let's use an example
sentence unplug your device's when you
are finished with work we're going to
plug this camera after this so those are
ten words that you can use for talking
about computers and email if there's
