Answer:

You could use context clues.

Step-by-step explanation:

For example, I'm looking to know what the word "loyal" means. In the sentence I read it in, it says "The dog was very loyal to its owner, it never ran away and always stayed by his side." I can tell that loyal means to be true to someone, because it explains that the dog "always stayed by his side."
