Knowing whether the word is a noun (is the author referring to someone?), verb (did someone do something?), adjective (Is the author describing something?), or adverb (Is the author telling how something is done?) can help me figure out what the author is trying to tell me.

Are the synonyms or antonyms in the text around the word that may give me a clue?

Are there examples or descriptions given for the word?
