USING DICTIONARIES (STEP 5)

THINK ABOUT HOW RELATED THE WORD IS...

  • Think about how the information you've found relates to the word as you encountered it. If there are multiple definitions, decide which one matches your source or context for the word and notice how the different definitions are related to one another. In an English dictionary, the most common meaning is usually placed first where there are multiple meanings.


  • Try using your new word in a sentence. If it's difficult to spell, write it a few times to help yourself.


  • Use a picture dictionary to broaden your technical or specific knowledge.
