F REE 11+ VOCABULARY LIST SAMPLE

Information for Students:

Learning your vocabulary for the 11+ can be very boring, but it's still very important!
It really helps if you do just a few words a day, so they stick in your long term memory.

For each word in the following pages, you will need to learn its meaning, write a sentence using the word and
write an opposite word to it - if there is one! Remember, you can use an online dictionary or thesaurus if it helps.

Here's an example:

adore (v.) to love or care for something

My sentence: I adore my cat called Freddie.
Opposite word: hate

Remember that each word is a particular part of speech. It is either:

a noun (a person, place or thing) - e.g. Sam, England or table

an adjective (a describing word) - e.g. tall, short or wide
a verb (an action word) - e.g. think, reading, swim
an adverb (a word that describes a verb) - e.g. carefully, slowly, happily
