to slow or block progress
To slow down or block the movement or progress of someone or something.
نمط الاستخدام:
[someone]/[something] impedes [something] or impedes [someone] from doing [something]
خطأ شائع:
Learners sometimes confuse "impede" with "prevent." "Impede" means to slow or make something difficult, but it may still happen. "Prevent" means to stop something from happening completely. Also, learners may say "impede to do something"; the correct patterns are "impede something" (e.g., "impede progress") or "impede someone from doing something" (e.g., "impede them from leaving").

الأضداد
facilitate (Means to make an action or process easier, the opposite of making it harder.)
|
enable (Means to make something possible or easier instead of slowing or blocking it.)
