10、you are making a guess about the meaning of a new word in your reading, you can use context clues to help you. You might not be able to guess the exact meaning of a new word every time, but you may be close enough to get the meaning of the sentence containing the new word. The following are six cont

11、ext-based clues that are useful for you to figure out the meaning of a difficult or unfamiliar word. Finding out word meanings Finding out word meanings Synonyms Antonyms Definition or explanation Examples Root words, prefixes, and suffixesTo understand an unfamiliar word, you can look for its synon

12、ym in the context, which may be a familiar word to you. Words like “similarly”, “as well as”, “both and”, and “likewise” show that synonyms or comparison clues are likely to follow. For example: SynonymsTaking out the garbage was an onerous task; likewise, washing dishes can be a hard job. Prof. Smi

13、ths lectures are so riveting. Similarly, Prof. Wilsons classes are very interesting, too. The meaning of “onerous” is likely to be similar to “hard” as indicated by the signal word “likewise”. And the meaning of “riveting” is likely to be similar to “interesting” as indicated by “similarly”. Synonym

14、sAntonymsYou can also use a familiar antonym to determine the meaning of an unknown word. So, it is helpful to locate the antonym of the unknown word. Connecting words, such as “however”, “yet”, “on the other hand”, “instead of”, “but”, “while”, and “although” are likely to introduce something oppos

15、ite in meaning to what is previously said. For example: AntonymsMy sister is extremely neat and tidy in appearance while she is slovenly in doing housework. Some business disputes can be settled out of court; on the other hand, others require litigation. The meaning of “slovenly” must be contrary to

16、 “neat and tidy” as indicated by “while”. And the word “litigation” most probably means “be settled in court” with the contrastive clue “on the other hand”. Definition or explanation Definitions tell us directly the meaning of the unfamiliar word. The clues preceding the definition are or act like l

17、inking verbs. Examples of these verbs include “be” (“is”, “are”, “was”, “were”), “mean”, “involve”, “be called”, “i.e.”, or “in other words”. Definition or explanation You may also find explanation about an unfamiliar word in the context, information youre you are familiar with and set off by commas

18、, parenthesis, brackets, or dashes. For example: A souk is an open-air marketplace in an Arab country. Metamemory, the knowledge about ones memory processes, is helpful in helping us store and recall information. ExamplesYou can guess the meaning of an unknown word with the help of the example(s). E

19、xamples are usually introduced by the following words and phrases: “such as”, “such”, “for example”, and “like”. For example: Potentates, such as kings, queens, and emperors, are very powerful and wealthy people. The word “potentate” must be people like “kings, queens, and emperors”. Root words, pre

20、fixes, and suffixesKnowledge about word formation can also help you guess the meaning of an unfamiliar word. In other words, if you have a good command of the common prefixes and suffixes, you would be more likely to figure out the meaning of an unfamiliar multi-syllabic word by analyzing its word f

21、ormation. Sometimes the best way to illustrate how to do something is by counterexample. Gently swing your right arm in a clockwise direction. Root words, prefixes, and suffixesSometimes the best way to illustrate how to do something is by counterexample. Gently swing your right arm in a clockwise d

22、irection. If you know the prefix “counter-” means “the opposite of something” and the suffix “-wise” means “in the direction of”, then it would not be difficult for you to work out the meanings of “counterexample” and “clockwise”. Beside, common sense and knowledge can be one additional skill.You ma

23、y also use your common sense or your knowledge about the real world to determine the meaning of an unknown word. This is very important, especially when none of the above five clues can be found in the sentence. For example: Common sense and knowledge Common sense and knowledge The angry driver shou

24、ted vehemently during his fight with the other driver.
