Today, we begin with INSTITUTE.

It's a noun, an organization created for  

a particular purpose, such as research, or  education. I visit the art institute's gallery  

once a month. As a verb, it means to begin  or create something, such as a new law, rule,  

or system. By instituting these programs,  we hope to improve our children's education.  

Let's look again up close and in slow motion. 

And now we'll go to Youglish for five examples.

This is an organization created for a particular  purpose. In this case, to conduct research. Oh,  

conduct, that's another word  we learned in this challenge.

Here, we have the verb form. To institute, to  begin, to create a new rule, law, or system.  

In this case, they needed to begin reforms on a  system to bring about changes to reach a goal. 

I think we need to institute a variety  of reforms to make it possible. 

Our last example.

Again, the verb, the first country to create a new  law, a carbon tax, to help curb global warming.

Our next word is RESIDENT. Notice  the letter S here makes a Z sound.  

It's a noun, someone who lives in a  particular place. I'm a resident of Pennsylvania.  

It's also an adjective, living  or working in a particular place,  

usually for a long period of time. He's our  resident history expert here at the museum.

And now we'll go to Youglish for five examples.

but still needs to complete several years of  training to become a particular kind of doctor.  

They work at one hospital or medical  group, and can work really long hours.

seek. Sought. It's a verb, to search  or try to find someone or something.  

Also to ask for or try to achieve something. He  sought to write a movie that audiences would love.

Here's another example. And i sought out other  

ideas to see if i could have a greater impact. Sought out. Notice when this word links into a

a flap T. Sought out. Sought out. This is a common  phrasal verb, to search for something. This person  

searched for ideas. And I sought out other  ideas to see if I could have a greater impact. 

Here's another example. In 1999,

or an object that's desirable. Many people  wanted Kevin as producer on their projects.
