Word of the Week -38

PLOT

This week's word is related to cinema since the Oscar ceremony is on this coming Saturday. It is a noun and it is the word that refers to the story of a book, film or play (theatre production). Many Spanish students directly translate the word 'argumento' into English as 'argument', but a film does not have an argument, it has a plot.

The film has a very interesting plot with lots of unexpected twists.

I don't like his books, the plot is always the same. So predictable.

Remember that an argument is a disagreement or a heated discussion between two people.
You also need to remember that a discussion is not an angry conversation between people, it's just an exchange of ideas and opinions. These are false friends in English.
