Context clues are hints that an author gives to help define a difficult or unusual
word within a book. The clue may appear within the same sentence as the word to
which it refers or it may follow in the next sentence. Because most of our
vocabulary is gained through reading, it is important that we are able to recognize
and take advantage of context clues.
For a better understanding on how to infer the meaning of unfamiliar word using
context clues, check the following sentences.
1. Wendy was known as capricious, with unpredictable behavior that made her
mood change quickly. Capricious means change of mood or behavior quickly. 2.
At the restaurant, we were offered a variety of beverages like milk and iced tea.
