Definition - The author will include the actual definition of the word. Look at the sentence after the unknown word to see if the author explains what the word means.

Example - There might be an example of what the unknown word looks like in action. Do the sentences before or after give you an example?

Antonym - Sometimes we can figure out unknown words because the author will provide the antonym nearby.

Synonym - You might be able to figure out the unknown word by looking for synonyms. Are there other words that are listed that are similar to the unknown word?
