combine parts into a whole

to bring different things together so they work as one thing

Padrão de uso: to integrate [something] into [something]
Erro comum:
Learners sometimes use "mix" instead of "integrate". "Mix" often describes a physical or casual combination (e.g., mix sugar and water), while "integrate" usually describes a careful or functional combination of parts, systems, or ideas so they work together. Learners also forget the preposition and say "integrate to" instead of the more natural "integrate into" or "integrate with".
Sinónimos
combine (General word for putting things together; does not always suggest making a smooth, working whole the way 'integrate' does.) | merge (Often used for companies or software; suggests joining into one, but not always with the idea of coordinating different parts in detail.)
Antónimos
separate (Focuses on keeping things apart or dividing them instead of bringing them together.) | isolate (Emphasizes keeping one part alone and not connecting it with others.)

include fully in a group

to help someone become a real part of a group, place, or society

Padrão de uso: to integrate [someone] into [a group/society]
Erro comum:
Learners often confuse "integrate" with "adapt" or "adjust" in this context. "Adapt" and "adjust" focus on what the person does to change themselves, while "integrate" focuses on both the person and the group making changes so the person becomes a full member. Learners also say "integrate in the society" instead of the more natural "integrate into society".
Sinónimos
include (More general and less about long-term adjustment; can be as simple as inviting someone, while "integrate" implies deeper participation.) | assimilate (Often suggests that the person or group must give up much of their original culture, which is stronger and sometimes negative compared to "integrate".)
Antónimos
exclude (Direct opposite: to keep someone out of a group or activity.) | marginalize (To push people to the edge of society or a group, the opposite of helping them take a full part.)
Colocações

end racial segregation

to stop keeping people of different races apart in schools or other places and let them use them together

Padrão de uso: to integrate [a place/institution]
Erro comum:
Learners may not realize this sense is strongly connected to racial segregation, especially in U.S. and South African history, and may use it too generally. For normal, everyday situations, "mix" or "bring together" is often better; "integrate" in this sense usually appears in historical, legal, or social-justice contexts.
Sinónimos
desegregate (A formal legal and historical term; often used for laws and policies, while "integrate" can also emphasize the social process after segregation ends.)
Antónimos
segregate (To separate people by race or another characteristic, the direct opposite of integrating them.)
Colocações

compute a mathematical integral

in math, to do the operation called "integration" to find the integral of a function

Padrão de uso: to integrate [a function] from [a] to [b]
Erro comum:
Learners sometimes confuse the everyday meaning of "integrate" (to combine things) with this mathematical meaning. In math contexts, "integrate" almost always refers to calculus, not to general ideas of combining or adding parts.
Sinónimos
find the integral of (A more explicit phrase describing the same mathematical operation; less compact but clearer for learners.) | compute the integral of (Emphasizes the calculation process, often in technical or numerical contexts.)
Antónimos
differentiate (In calculus, the standard opposite operation to integration; it finds the derivative instead of the integral.)
Colocações
integrate a function |integrate from 0 to 1 |integrate by parts |integrate over time |numerically integrate |integrate with respect to x
Temas
math |science |education
Exemplos
  • First differentiate the function, then integrate it over the interval.
