English term

word warehouse

English to Portuguese Other Education / Pedagogy Educational books
Hi everyone,

I've got a question concerning the term above.

Context:
«heavy — light — strong — weak — with difficulty — easily — big — small
The ____________ and ____________ man lifts the bag _________
but the __________ and ________woman lifts the ________ case _______
(...)
Write out the following relationship correctly (use the word warehouse)»

I've looked it up in several dictionaries and the terms I'm getting don't seem to apply very well.

For instance: «use o seu depósito de palavras» or «use o seu armazém de palavras»

These do not make much sense in Portuguese. So, please, can someone give me a term which would be better suited for this sentence?

Note: this is a book for children (basic level of education) so no complicated terms can be used.

Thank you .

Regards
Barbara

banco/lista de palavras

Eu acho que é isso de que mais se aproxima - uma lista, um banco de palavras de referência para os exercícios.

To warehouse = to set aside or accumulate, as for future use.
