WORDY WEDNESDAY: THE VERB RESOLVE: meaning and examples

Happy Wednesday everyone! I hope that you are having a great day. 

For the first Wordy Wednesday of 2015, we are looking at a word that many people use this time of the year: RESOLVE.

Definition 1: to make a definite and serious decision to do something.

Example 1: This year, I resolve to stop smoking. 

Example 2: In 2015, I resolve to be less stressed. 

As you can see, the word RESOLVE is followed by an INFINITIVE

Definition 2: To find an answer or solution.

Example 3: He resolved the math problem

Example 4: The workers resolved their issues with the company. 

This definition of the verb RESOLVE has a very similar meaning to the word SOLVE.

What do you resolve to do in 2015? Do you resolve to resolve anything? ;-)
