Lessons

Using Context Clues
You do not need to "know" the word. The sentence around it tells you the meaning — if you read for the clue.
→
Words with Many Meanings
Common words hide secondary meanings. The familiar definition is usually the trap; the context picks the right one.
→
Connotation
Use the sentence’s positive or negative tone to pick between words that share a meaning but not a feeling.
→
Idioms & Phrasal Verbs
Idioms and phrasal verbs mean something different from their separate words. Read the whole phrase, never the parts.
→
Roots, Prefixes & Suffixes
When you have never seen the word, break it apart. Word-parts plus context give you a strong, fast guess.
