TOEIC Vocabulary Lesson - Quote

When you learn a new word, build you vocabulary with all forms of that word. When possible, try to start with the verb form - the verb will best show you the meaning of the word and the word family.

Quote as a verb means to estimate the cost of something.

• We generally quote this service at a higher rate for new customers.
• I can quote you on both apartments if you like. 

Quote as a noun means the written estimate of the cost of something.

• Can you please provide a quote for the services you offer?
• The quote for the apartments was a lot higher than my budget.

Quotation is also a noun meaning the written estimate of the cost of something. We tend to use quote in spoken English and quotation in written English.

• Thank you for sending your quotation for the cost of the project. The planning team will review it and get back to you within a week.
• I have enclosed our quotation for both apartments.

👉 Keep in mind the best way to remember this or any vocabulary in English is to take the word or phrase write it in a sentence that's true for you or true in your world and then memorize your sentences.

👉 You can even take your sentences and write them in the comments below. I would love to see your examples.
