Fascinating Fact:

Use context, then check. Guess a meaning from the sentence, confirm in a dictionary, and write your own example to lock it in.

In 11 Plus English, improving vocabulary boosts both comprehension and writing. Learn meanings from context, use prefixes and suffixes to decode words, and practise with accurate synonyms in your own sentences.

Key Terms

Context clue: Words around an unknown word that hint at its meaning.
Prefix/Suffix: Parts added to the start or end of a word that change meaning.
Synonym: A word with a similar meaning, used to choose more precise language.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

What are context clues in 11 Plus English?

Context clues are hints in the sentence or paragraph that help you infer a word’s meaning, such as definitions, examples, contrasts, or cause–effect signals.

How can I learn new words quickly?

Read daily, break words into roots and affixes, keep a personal word list, review with spaced practice, and write your own example sentences to secure memory.

What is the difference between a synonym and an antonym?

A synonym has a similar meaning (happy/cheerful). An antonym has an opposite meaning (happy/sad). Choosing the right one improves clarity and precision.
