Applying Vocabulary in Context

Using New Words

Understanding unfamiliar words helps you in school and beyond. You can often figure out the meaning by looking at the words and sentences around it.

Strategies

  • Context clues: Look for hints in the sentence.
  • Word parts: Break down the word (prefix, root, suffix).
  • Synonyms and antonyms: Find words with similar or opposite meanings nearby.

Why it Matters

Building your vocabulary helps you communicate better, read more easily, and understand new information.

Practice

Try to use a new word from your reading in a conversation or your own writing.

Examples

  • Figuring out that 'timid' means 'shy' because the sentence says the character 'hid behind her mother.'

  • Learning that 'gigantic' means very large from the sentence 'The gigantic dog towered over the small cat.'
