Vocabulary Unit 3 Review

A synonym has the same meaning as the word. An antonym means the opposite.

Multiple-meaning words have more than one meaning. Context clues can help you determine which meaning the author intended.

Use a dictionary to find the meaning of unknown words. 

Many words in the English language have roots in Latin and Greek.
