Important examples of furnished in TOEIC

Vocabulary examples from the TOEIC test

In TOEIC vocabulary questions, furnished is often used to describe apartments or rooms.

▪The house is furnished with modern furniture.
▪The house has modern furniture.

Example of a confusing word: decorated (adorned)

▪The house is decorated with modern furniture.
▪The house is adorned with modern furniture.
"Furnished" means that a space is equipped with furniture, and it is used in the passive form "is furnished with" to describe the presence of furniture in a house or apartment. "Decorated," however, means "adorned" or "embellished" and typically refers to adding decorative elements for aesthetic purposes, not just functional furniture. Saying "The house is decorated with modern furniture" suggests the furniture is purely ornamental, which changes the intended meaning. Thus, "furnished" is the correct choice for indicating that the house is equipped with functional furniture.

Furnished is used as an adjective, often describing the state of a living space in TOEIC questions.
