    How to Study Vocabulary

    Longman Dictionary – Use this online English-English dictionary to look up each vocabulary word.

    • part of speech – noun, verb, adjective, article, or adverb

    • Can you use the vocabulary word in a conversation?

    • Can you write your own sentence with the vocabulary word?

    • Can you read and understand the vocabulary word?
