Thinking of synomyms for words that we commonly use is a great way to build your vocabulary.

When you learn a new word, think of words that are in the same family. Are there any related verbs, nouns, adverbs, adjectives, synonyms and antonyms?

Look at this example with the verb employ.

and try to do the same with the word friend.

Here there is a lot of information about prefixes and suffixes. They can help to discover the meaning of a new word by seperating it into parts.
