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.
