Any tips for english vocabulary? (1 Viewer)

[GL1001]

My teacher believes my vocabulary is very basic, i would like to learn some bigger words to use but im scared i might misspell them during the exam.

Any tips? or easy to spell words that sound intelligent?

read novels and practice writing.

pictuure the words in youre head and write "automatically not manually"

because whenerver someone does something their brains "click" in a certain way,just try to write automatially and it will come to you.

what i do is whenever i come across a unique word or a word i find impressive i write it down in my phone as a note or whatever and use it (after finding the definition of course)

Watch shows/read text that would actually use "bigger" words regularly as it will familarise you with them. Try watching documentaries, reading the newspaper or reading texts other than those horrible tween books eg Twilight

Two words: Jane Eyre...

You can sound intelligent and boring at the same time!

Classic novels are a great place to start. So is reading the newspaper daily. Use the thesaurus in mircosoft word, and actually learn the direct meanings of different synonyms.

Is it me or is 'grammar' the most vastly mispelled word on t3h interwebz?
I've seriously come across it about 1,000,000,000 times.
But as you've said you don't care about it online.

Hey and luv2luvurmama, I'm new here and I've already asserted myself to the fact that you're the biggest faggot here. Seriously, shut the fuck up. Think you're funny or something?

It depends on the circumstances really. What type of words would you like to have extensive knowledge in? Jargonistic language, or words that are applicable in day to day conversations as well as in writing?

I've been told that I've had an immensely expansive vocabulary since Year 2.

Also has anyone noticed that lots of people refer to spelling errors as incorrect grammar?

I never said your grammar was incorrect. I was merely pointing out a trivial fact about the internet.
