Hi everyone!
I've been trying hard to find a synonym for the phrase 'practical applications of the theory'.
I want to use it in the following sentence.
His inclination towards knowing the practical applications of theory is impressive.

Thanks!

Are you looking for a single word to replace that phrase?

Your original sentence: "His inclination towards knowing the practical applications of theory is impressive."

"Practical applications of [the] theory" sounds OK to me (depending on context), but neither "inclination" nor "knowing" are natural. Try to write your sentence again.

Please remember to use correct capitalisation, punctuation and full English words in your posts. See my amendments above in red.
