Monday's EAP class - from the board

These are the things that you identified as being important to know when you learn new vocabulary:
- meaning (plus synonyms & antonyms)
- part of speech (adjective, verb, noun etc)
- collocations
- pattern grammar
- register (e.g. formal or informal)
- spelling
- pronunciation
- usefulness

Especially for verbs, you might want to check:
- is it regular or irregular?
- is it transitive or intransitive?

If you can't find the information you need in your dictionary, it may be time to get a new dictionary...
