With yesterday's topic being business nouns, it only makes sense that today we'd focus on business verbs! Take a look at this list of 100 essential business verbs by clicking here: http://www.speakspeak.com/html/d2d_english_top_100_verbs_library.htm.
Review the list, pick out two or more verbs that you're not familiar with, and look them up using an online dictionary (such as Dictionary.com or Merriam-Webster.com). Then return to the blog and post the words with definitions. Be sure to check this topic often, as other people will be added words and we can all learn by reading what's been added!
Being familiar with common business nouns and verbs will not only help you increase your vocabulary, but will also help you understand business related discussions & writings. Aren't those good things?

Lengthen: to make longer. To become greater in length.

5)Vary: (transitive verb) 1a: to make a partial change in : make different in some attribute or characteristic b: to make differences between items in : diversify ___2:(intransitive verb) to present under new aspects. ~ex: vary the rhythm and harmonic treatment~
