producing good or useful results
Giving good results, such as new ideas, answers, or progress.
Mẫu sử dụng:
a fruitful [activity/meeting/discussion]
Lỗi thường gặp:
Learners sometimes think 'fruitful' can only talk about real fruit. In modern English it is more often used for actions, talks, or work that give good results. Learners also confuse 'fruitful' and 'fruitless'; remember that '-less' usually means 'without', so 'fruitless' means 'without results'.
