Grammar Note

Pronunciation & Spelling
Words like 'fighting', 'writing', 'sighting', 'biting', and 'exciting' share the same ending sound /-aɪtɪŋ/, with the stressed vowel and following consonants matching. 'Lightning' looks similar in spelling but is pronounced /ˈlaɪtnɪŋ/ (with no /g/ sound), so it does not rhyme.
Usage priority
Collins 词频等级为 2，建议结合例句记忆，而不是只背中文释义。
