Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Consider"

A: @morrisononodje

In addition and furthermore are different to and. You can actually say and furthermore, or even, and in addition. In addition, you can say moreover , or, and moreover. Furthermore in my experience , it would be unusual to see any of these three words or phrase used more than once in an article.

I don’t think there is an actual rule nit to use them more than once, but these words are introducing your most convince information or arguments. So you can’t try to be more convincing than most convincing.

You can read further information on them here:

😁

A: You should think about going too!

"We're going to the beach this week. You should consider going as well!"

A: ... Think carefully about something before making a decision.

And talking about it while using in a conversation... here are some examples:

01. He seriously considered changing careers.
02. We are considering you for the job.
03. I'm considering moving to S Korea for few months to explore the country.

Hope it helps out👍🏻

A: That is complex older style phrasing.

Basically, "might" is being used similar to how "could" is often used.

Suggesting that "might we not consider" is actually counter-intuitive phrasing, it is saying it that way for emphasis and nuance but it sounds like the opposite of what it actually is saying. It is actually suggesting "could we consider..."

And then "those less fortunate than ourselves" means "those people who are less fortunate/blessed (not doing as well in life, often means financially poor) as ourselves?" So, it's talking about people who are poor, compared to the speaker.

It basically suggests, "maybe we should think about the poor people." / "maybe we should do something to help the less fortunate, the less well-off." But it is being a bit coy about it.

Something like this might be used for understatement, to emphasis how self-involved or cluelessly out of touch the speaker thinks the person the other person is being. Hinting at them.

Or it could be meant to guilt the other person into being charitable for once.

It could be suggesting that "this should be obvious, I cannot believe no one has brought it up yet, we should really do better."

It could also be used in a conversation where someone is complaining about their privileged life, and the speaker is making a point about getting some perspective, about how they do not actually have it the worst that can be. That perhaps there are people who have it even worse than the person who is complaining, and isn't that a novel thought? So being sarcastic but masking it with politeness.

The details would depend on context, but nuance and subtext is pretty much guaranteed.

Deliberate has 2 pronunciations that mean different things, so please be careful.

diˈlibəˌrāt/
means to engage in long and careful consideration. To deliberate means to carefully think or talk something through. it also means slow and measured, the pace of this kind of careful decision making. If you chose deliberately, you make a very conscious, well-thought-through choice.

dəˈlib(ə)rət/

To contemplate means to look thoughtfully at something for a long time, or to think about something deeply. It is usually meditative, and you are thinking profound thoughts.
“She stood and contemplated the Mona Lisa for a very long time”
“Now that she has finished her first year of college, she is contemplating changing her major” (she is deeply considering it, and is looking at other majors instead, and probably in the process of deciding what to choose next).

A: These two words have various different meanings.

But when they mean "think", like an opinion, they are the same.

I regard Internet trolls as a waste of space.

But you might need to adjust the grammar around them.

A: Consider is thinking about doing a thing.
Ex. I'm considering going on a trip.
Investigate is wondering what is going on and trying to figure out why something happened
Ex. I need to investigate/ find out why something is missing.

A: "considered to be" is much more common nowadays and also there is a clear difference between these two.

"He is considered to be a well-known professor"
"considered to be" tells you how others may consider/think of something. In this case, others are saying that he is a well-known professor. I guess you can see this as some sort of recommendation or an opinion which is shared by others.

"He is considered as a well-known professor."
"considered as" tells you to use a particular context to consider something. In other words, find other evidence to see if that person is indeed a famous professor.

Other examples

"Hey, did you know that guy used to be considered as a genius?"
"Did you hear? Apparently, he's considered to be a transfer student from New Zealand!"

A: The meaning is the same, but the word "consider" is a slightly more educated / formal way of expressing "think about".

Sorry I couldn't think of a better sentence.

A: From a grammar standpoint your statement is fine. We have a saying for this: "Work hard, play hard."
