Limit by part of speech:
| leave out |
not to put in or not include; omit. |
| omit |
When you omit something, you don't include it. You take it out, or you don't put it in. If you omit the sugar when you make cookies, the cookies will not be sweet at all because you didn't put in any sugar. If you omit a sentence that you already wrote in your report, you take the sentence out. Maybe you decided you didn't want to say that. |
| so that |
"So that" is a little phrase we use to introduce the purpose or reason for the thing we just mentioned. If you "put on a jacket so that you will not get cold," the purpose of putting on the jacket is to not get cold. Sometimes we use just "so" for this meaning and omit the word "that." |
