Context Clues Example Sentences In English/Tagalog

CONTEXT CLUES EXAMPLE SENTENCES – There are thousands of words in any language. As such, we sometimes need to use “context clues” for us to identify what these words mean.

When looking at a sentence, there are times where we’re not familiar with a certain word. This is where context clues come in as it helps us understand the definition based on the sentences and other words around it.

There are several ways for us to find context clues, the first one is through synonyms. Here are some examples:

• Peter did a crime so egregious; he’ll never bounce back from this horrendous act.
• His animosity, the pure hatred of his father, divided the once loving family.

Much like synonyms, antonyms could also be utilized as context clues: Eva is gregarious, in contrast, his brother Peter, is quiet and shy.

Meanwhile, there are times where sentences give direct definitions to words as a context clue: In the night, the villagers heard the screeching of a banshee, a spirit that alludes to the death of a family member.

Next, we have context clues that are in the form of explanations. A sentence can offer so many details for us to see the bigger picture. Once we do, all we need is to put together the meaning of a word.

During the rally of the villagers in the Hacienda, a skirmish broke out so the authorities rushed in to restore order. Here, we know that authorities needed to come to bring back order, this meant that a skirmish is some sort of fight.
