Wait up! There’s more! The poem that you are about to read will teach you how to get the meaning of unfamiliar words through context without using any references. Get ready because you are in for a ride!

Guided Questions:

   Do you find difficulty in understanding the poem?

INTRODUCTION

• Now that you have read the poem entitled “Context Clues,” what are some of the words that you find difficult to understand? How do you unlock the meaning of the words? What are the clues that help you solve them.? 

   

  This time, you study the sentences below. Take note of the underlined words. Can you give their meanings? 

  
  

1. As a writer, Dr. Jose Rizal used several pseudonyms so as not to reveal his real identity.

2. We should always be prudent in what we say so as not to hurt the feelings of others.

pseudonyms =pen names.

 

prudent =careful.

 

 

The words not to reveal helped you identify the meaning of pseudonyms in sentence number 1 while the words not to hurt helped you identify the meaning of prudent in sentence number 2. 

 These words served as the clues in the sentences.

Aside from using the dictionary, another way of learning the meaning of an unfamiliar word is through noting context clues. Are you familiar of it? So, what are context clues? 

Context clues are words that appear in sentences to help understand the meanings of  difficult words.  

What is context?

Use the words surrounding the unknown word to help determine the unknown word’s meaning.
