Introduction: Finding Synonyms in Context

Sometimes, we don’t know the meaning of a word but we can figure it out by reading the sentence around it. This is called using context clues 🔍

When we look at how a word is used in a sentence, we can often find a synonym (a word that means the same or almost the same).

For example:
👉 “The girl was happy because she won the game.”
Even if we don’t know the word happy, the sentence helps us understand it means glad or joyful 😊

Today, we will practice how to find synonyms using context, so we can become better readers and understand words more easily 📚✨
