Definition, synonyms and related words
plural of enterprise
"The local bank approved loans for three new tech enterprises last week."
In plain English: Enterprises are businesses or large projects that people start to make money or solve problems.
"The local government provided grants to support small businesses and community enterprises."
Usage: Use "enterprises" to refer to multiple distinct business ventures, ambitious projects, or organizations that people are actively running or planning. Avoid confusing it with singular terms like "businesses" if you specifically mean large-scale commercial entities, though the words are often interchangeable in casual conversation.
Third-person singular simple present indicative form of enterprise
"The company enters new markets by expanding its global enterprises, but in this context, the word is a noun referring to business organizations rather than a verb form. Since "enterprise" as a third-person singular verb does not exist (the verb is only base form "to enter"), providing an example for that specific non-existent grammatical form is impossible; however, if we assume you meant the common meaning of "businesses," here is a sentence: The local government supports small enterprises through tax incentives."
In plain English: To enterprising means showing initiative and creativity to solve problems or start new projects.
"The new startup will enter into partnership with several local enterprises to expand its reach."
Usage: Do not use "enterprises" as a verb to mean starting a business or undertaking an action; that usage is archaic and incorrect in modern English. Instead, treat "enterprise" solely as a noun referring to a business venture or a bold attempt.
Derived from Old French entreprendre, this term originally meant to undertake or promise something, combining entre (between) and prendre (to take). It later evolved in English to denote bold projects or commercial ventures.
