Grab a dictionary, find a word…that you dont know, and put that word into a sentence.

Read a lot. You’ll learn by seeing the words put in context. When you don’t know a word, look it up.

Bear in mind most newspapers, magazines etc. are written for people with a 12-year-old’s vocab. You need to seek out sources with elevated discourse.

Just avoid becoming a walking dictionary that spews out words without knowing what they mean!

READ! Read as much as you can - whatever you like. Fiction, non fiction, biographies etc etc

And practice writing. Keep a journal.

he is very right.

there are lot of books and guides to help with vocab , like baron’s
they treat with etymology, that’s to increase knowledge by roots.

Well, those comments don’t really apply to mine do they. They are more rants and unrealated questions.
