Learn Vocabulary from the lesson
stubby
 
A boxer has a short stubby nose.
 
A 'stubby' nose is short, wide and doesn't stick out far from the rest of the dog's head.  We can use 'stubby' for anything that fits this description. Notice the following:
 
He has really stubby fingers.
My cat has kind of a stubby tail.
loyal
 
Dogs are always loyal.
 
A person or animal that will always love you and be by your side is 'loyal.'  Like a good friend that will be there even when your life is difficult.  Notice the following:
 
You have been a very loyal friend, supporting me through all of my problems.
I am a loyal customer of the coffee shop near my house.
breed
 
Which breed of dog do you like besides boxers?
 
A 'breed' of dog is a type of dog.  Usually people who sell dogs make puppies 6 with two parents of the same breed, two boxers instead of a boxer and a poodle.  Notice the following:
 
I have never seen a dog that looks like that.  What breed is he?
My favorite breed of dog is a pug.
associate
 
What costs are associated with keeping a dog?
 
Another way to ask this question is: What costs or expenses are connected with having a dog?  Or, If I get a dog, what will I have to pay for?  Things that are associated to each other are connected. Notice the following:
 
What responsibilities are associated with your new job?
What activities do you associate with a vacation?
pretty
 
Pretty cheap really.
 
If something is 'pretty cheap' it still costs money, but not a lot of money.  It costs more money than something that is really cheap.  'Pretty' is used with another adjective to mean 'kind of.' Notice the following:
 
You are actually pretty tall.
I will meet you at your house pretty soon.
