English Synonyms and Antonyms
cost(v)
To accost is to speak first, to friend or stranger, generally with a view to opening conversation; greet is not so distinctly limited, since one may return another's greeting; greet and hail may imply but a passing word; greeting may be altogether silent; to hail is to greet in a loud-voiced and commonly hearty and joyous way, as appears in the expression "hail fellow, well met." To salute is to greet with special token of respect, as a soldier his commander. To apostrophize is to solemnly address some person or personified attribute apart from the audience to whom one is speaking; as, a preacher may apostrophize virtue, the saints of old, or even the Deity. To appeal is strictly to call for some form of help or support. Address is slightly more formal than accost or greet, though it may often be interchanged with them. One may address another at considerable length or in writing; he accosts orally and briefly.

How to use cost in a sentence?
Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake:
We’ve seen in other jurisdictions around the country where there's been a rush to implementation and it has cost taxpayers millions of dollars.
As one of the top four producers in the world, our position on the global cost curve is absolutely vital.
This is concerning in terms of trying to tackle improved quality of care and improved access to care, and in terms of bending the cost curve, there's lots and lots of research done on drug development and much less done on whether one course of treatment is better than another.
We measure the value of the route by the time that it takes to fly by helicopter versus the time it takes to drive, and we're now turning 6-hour drives into 35-minute flights, it's obviously not going to be as inexpensive as Uber, but for people who value their time more than the cost it does make sense.
Very little progress has been made over the last several decades, average life expectancy has only increased three to six months with some of these drugs that cost billions to develop.
