Context Clues are hints within a piece of writing that help you understand the meaning of unfamiliar words or phrases. They come in different forms:
* Definition/Explanation: The word is directly defined or explained within the sentence or paragraph.
* Example: Examples are given to illustrate the word's meaning.
* Synonym/Antonym: A similar or opposite word is used, helping you understand the meaning.
* Inference/Logic: You can use the surrounding information and your own knowledge to figure out the word's meaning.
What's NOT a context clue:
* The dictionary: While the dictionary is helpful, it doesn't rely on the context of the writing.
Can you give me an example of a sentence where a context clue is being used?
