Interpretation: Tradition holds that what God has spoken is reliable and will come true, as a promise or a warning. The Ten Commandments are called "the Ten Utterances" because God spoke them. In the primary lessons: In language lessons spoken English is compared with written English; in stories «the words were spoken» shows someone said them. Phrases: «spoken language», «the spoken word», «softly spoken», «spoken for» (already taken).
