Learning and teaching vocabulary is very important. After mastering your vocabulary word books, you cannot get the words out of your mouth. Why? Soohyun said that the words did not completely become ours and understand them fully. If we look at the words in a written form, we may easily get the meaning.

3. Use - grammatical functions, collocations, constraints on use
