Context Clues

What does it mean? Context is information that is included in a sentence that helps build our understanding of different words.

What does it look like? The king was destitute, he had lost all of his money and belongings.

destitute means to be very poor.

How did I know that?

ā€˜he had lost all of his money and belongingsā€™ gives us a clue about the meaning of the word ā€˜destituteā€™.

How else can I work out what a word means?

You can always try replacing the word with a word you think has the same meaning. If the sentence still makes sense and has the same meaning then the word may have the same meaning.
