In the previous quiz “Vocabulary Words (Part 1)” we learned that since the day you were born you have been learning a language. You start to learn it by hearing it and then making a connection between the sounds the “big” people are making and the objects and senses that go with those sounds.
Your big break is then learning to form those sounds into saying your very first words until, finally you start to link the words together, creating simple, short sentences. The next step is to start putting together complex and compound sentences. All this is done before you even learn what a letter is. Then you start to sing the A, B, C song.
As our language and understanding of it continues throughout life, as well as adding to our plethora of words, it would not be possible to address every word you have learned by middle school. However, it is always good to look over your list and see what you really know, especially where a word can be used correctly such as in a sentence.
