Let us learn about contextual clues dude! What is that? Contextual clues are words, phrases or sentences in the article that can help readers to figure out the meaning without referring the dictionary.
There are 7 types of contextual clues:
- Definition
- Examples
- Synonyms
- Antonyms
- Explanation
- Restatement
- General context
Oke. Let me give you all an example.
Legitimate champions: Real champions
With great trepidation: With great worry
His covert activity: His secret activity
