Compliment is a noun, which means a remark
that expresses approval, admiration or respect.

anyone had ever paid me."
Concentrate
Vs Concentrated
The verb - When you concentrate you direct all
your efforts towards a particular activity, subject or problem.
For example: You need to concentrate harder when you listen to
something in another language.
The adjective - If something is concentrated it means it has had some liquid
