Do you refer Dictionary / Thesaurus to get the word or just assume it

well if i fount a word i dont know usually go to a dictionary to know the definition then sometimes use it also. but there are times where you can just assume the meaning.

Well, I'm online most of the day so I can just look up the meaning in the online dictionary I'm using. But if the computer is rather far, I will just have to continue reading and put the word in the overall context to understand the author.

If I don't understand a certain word, then I will use a dictionary or a thesaurus. I much rather understand the word. I don't want to assume that a word means something. I really want to know what something means.

whenever i find a new word,first i used to guess the meaning of the word using the scenario portrayed in the text.then,i vl refer the dictionary to get complete meaning of the word

If I really have hard time understanding the word I would rather go for thesaurus cause I could find the words and then at the same time it will add to my vocabulary if I will get the synonyms and antonyms of those words.

I just make a guess from the context of the word. Much easier.

Usually I try to work it out from the context. It's likely that the author will use the word again a few paragraphs or pages later, and from that extra information I'll be able to guess at a meaning. If I stumble across the same word again and it's within a context that would call for a completely different meaning... then I look it up and make sure I have it right. If a word I don't know just strikes me as interesting, I'll probably look it up the first time.
