2)    Using the dictionary and thesaurus:

Online dictionaries and thesauruses are helpful resources if we use it properly. They can help memory about synonyms that would actually be better words in the context. A full dictionary definition can also educate us about antonyms, root words, and related words which is another way to learn vocabulary.

3) Writing down new words:

It's a really good to write down useful new vocabulary. The act of writing the words helps us remember them better.

4) Revising new vocabulary regularly:
