Words in context — Vocabulary words for kids

Word tip

Clues all around — “the other words in the sentence point to the missing word”

1. Read the whole sentence, including the part after the gap.
2. Find the clue: a reason (because …), a result (so …) or a hint (turn off the tap).
3. Try your word in the gap and read the sentence aloud — it must make sense.

Use it for: Fill-in-the-blanks questions in every English test, reading comprehension, and choosing the right word when you write.

Worked example: Choose the best word: We must ___ water; turn off the tap while brushing. → save
