What is Vocabulary?

• the body of words used in a particular language.

• the study of the classes of words, and their functions and relations in the sentence.

• the language or dialect spoken by the ordinary people in a particular country or region.

• the vocal language we all use to speak

Writing vocabulary consists of the words we use in writing. Vocabulary plays a fundamental role in the reading process, and contributes greatly to a reader's comprehension. A reader cannot understand a text without knowing what most of the words mean.​

​​Written

Speaking Vocabulary refers to the words we speak. Our speaking vocabulary is restricted. Most of the adults use almost 5000 to 10000 words for communication (for conversation and giving instructions).​

Spoken

• Play word games.​​

​Classic games like Scrabble and Boggle can function as a fun way to expand your English vocabulary.

• ​Develop a reading habit.​

• Seeing words appear in a novel or a newspaper article can be far more helpful than seeing them appear on vocabulary lists.​

• ​​Use the dictionary and thesaurus.

​Online dictionaries and thesauruses are helpful resources if used properly.

• Practice using new words in conversation.

If you come across an interesting word in your reading, make a point of using it in conversation.​​
