How to study this deck

Accessories complete an outfit or help you carry things. Learn the ones you wear (watch, ring, necklace), the ones you carry (backpack, purse, wallet) and the weather ones (umbrella, gloves, scarf). Practicing with put on and take off also teaches you two useful phrasal verbs.

The trickiest words

glasses: it is always plural: "My glasses are on the table". Sunglasses is also plural.
purse: in the US a purse is a handbag; in the UK a purse is a coin purse. There a bag is a "handbag".
scarf: its plural can be "scarves" or "scarfs". Both are valid, but "scarves" is more common.

Examples in context

He wore a brown belt with his pants.
She wrapped a scarf around her neck.
She checked her watch before the meeting.
She wore small earrings to school.
He carried his books in a backpack.
He left his wallet at home.
She lost her keychain with all her keys.
He wore a bow tie to the formal dinner.
