    • know how to say it (Pronunciation, Stress)
    • know how to spell it
    • know when and when not to use it (Conotation and denotation)
    • know the grammar of the word (Part of speech: noun, adjective, verb, adverb, preposition, article...)
    • know which words generally are around it (Collocations)

    Use this vocabulary worksheet to keep track of new vocabulary systematically.
