When you are reading and find an unusual or unknown word within a text, we can use the surrounding information to help comprehend the meaning of that word; when we do this, you are using the context clues.

There are many types of context clues, for example, to find out the meaning of a word in a text, you can look for synonyms within the sentence or the text that refers to that unknown word, you can also look for antonyms as they may also reveal the meaning of the word by contrast, or you can look for examples related to that word.

WHAT HAS THIS PANDEMIC DONE TO YOU???

julia-pushkina [17]

Answer:

Depression, anger issues, losing friends, but at the same time learning neelw skills and having time to improve in many areas. But I think that the most important thing this pandemic has taught me is value every moment of your life and live it without worries because you never know how much one's going to last. Worry less what other think and focus on yourself, and spend time with your family because you never know when will be the last time you will see them again. And the last thing that I'm going to mention is something that everybody says, but not everyone is mature enough to understand: nothing is perfect. Don't try to have a perfect moment, instead have a goofy one because that will be the memory you will most remember. ;-)

How do you write a good essay?

Anton [14]

That depends on what kind of essay we are talking about. If you are talking about a persuasive essay, then use different appeals and techniques, like ethos, logos,pathos, facts and figures, or testimonial. If we're talking about a narrative essay, then use plenty of imagery and sensory details, plus make sure to have plenty of characterization for your dynamic characters.
