at first,i was blur. until miss zu said, 'Amirah,it's there in your book'. she asked about some phobia. and i was blur. i was like,'where am i?' haha. bizarre~ -_____________-
okay,proceed.
this is 4 main types of context clues :
1. Rewording the word.
2. Giving its Synonym.
3. Giving its Antonym.
4. Giving us Details about word.
Rewording is when the author says the word in another way,that is typically easier to understand.
For example,
Resentment,a feeling of bitterness and anger,is often felt by people who are passed over for promotions.
What does the word resentment mean in this sentence?
answer: resentment is a feeling of bitterness and anger. for me in simple word its mean frustrated. angry when we had do something with fully energy to show that we wanted to get promoted but someone else got it. ergh!
I felt resentment to him! (example).
Synonym.
A writer sometimes uses synonym context clues to help with hard words. A synonym context clue is one or two words that mean almost the same as the one that the author does not expect us to know.
for example,
The young girl was very aloof. She always seemed unsociable, unapproachable,and uninterested.
What does the word aloof mean in this sentence?
answer: its mean unsociable, unapproachable,and uninterested.
Antonym
A writer is using antonym context clues when they use a word with opposite meaning to give us hints about the word that they don’t think we will know.
for example,
Dianna appeared to be a very moral and upstanding young lady, but those who knew her knew that she was iniquitous.
What does the word iniquitous mean in this sentence?
answer: opposite for moral and upstanding young lady is mean evil and immoral.
Details.
A writer is using details as context clues when they give us explanations or examples as hints about the word that they don’t think we will know. There are several different kinds of Context Clues that are Details.
•Details that are examples of the unknown word.
•Details that tell why the unknown word has taken place.
•Details that explain how the word relates to other things the author has stated.
for example,
Father was ecstatic because Joshua decided to go to the college that he wanted him to.
What does the word ecstatic mean in this sentence?
answer: its mean happy,overjoy,excited,etc.
