Chapter 3: Using Context Clues

Reading this chapter helped me understand and learn the different types of context clues to define a meaning of a word. At first I didn't know that there were more than one context clues and that sometimes context clues would have its limitations. In other words, there will be no clues in a sentence to help identify the meaning of a word. When I now read a book, passage, or article I can identify words that I don't recognize and can use options; definition, synonym, example, contrast, or inference context clues. Using these different context clues would help improve my writing skills and learn more of different types of writing.
