- How to use it
- As a verb, "develop" carries the action of the sentence. Practice it in three forms — a fact about yourself, a question, and a negative — for example, turn the example sentence above into your own situation.
- Common mistake
- Spell it with one 'p' — develop, developing, development. And 'a developed/developing country', not 'a developed/developed country'.
