Test your vocabulary!

I knew a lot of the words on the list but I wouldn't be able to actually define them without it being in a sentence so that's why I didn't tick them and prob got lower. Really depends how honest you're being with yourself

Surely if you can put them into a sentence then you know their definitions?

No. For example, I know roughly what "prudish" means in context but I wouldn't be able to define it.

Really? I would say that being able to use a word accurately (especially something like prudish since it's a rather specific one) would mean that you'd be able to say what it means just through context.

my school log book had a word each week in the calendar section of it and we were encouraged to use the word as much as we could. I remember learning the word veriloquent and then all teachers started using it and I came to hate it and never used it again. Habbox should have a word of the day I love learning new words. Today's word can be 'prudish'!

Hahaha I actually love that idea! I know like, generally what it means but I wouldn't be confident in defining it. There are a lot of words I ONLY know in context, mainly cos I read a lot and guess what the word means depending on what it's describing etc
