Review saved words in original context

By LangBox

Save unfamiliar words together with the sentences where you met them, then revisit your vocabulary to practise meaning and usage in context.

Try it: meaning first, then recall

This is an original editorial exercise, not a screenshot or a claimed output from an automatic capture.

We had to put off the meeting until Monday.

“Put off” means postpone here. It does not mean cancel the meeting.

Complete the new sentence with the same phrase:

We had to _____ the trip until Friday.
Show answer and explanation

put off — “We had to put off the trip until Friday.” Keep “until Friday”: it tells you the new time. Try making another sentence from your own plans.

How to review vocabulary from your reading

  1. Save a word with its source sentence

    When reading an ebook or transcript—or taking notes from a webpage—save the unfamiliar word alongside the exact sentence where it appeared.

  2. Revisit your saved vocabulary list

    Open your vocabulary list in LangBox (or export EPUB words to Anki) to review the word's definition together with its original context.

  3. Practise recall and check usage

    Test yourself on the word in its sentence before revealing the answer, or complete recall questions in your selected learning app course.

How manual saving and automatic course capture differ

  • In the EPUB and podcast tools, manually save words with their source sentences to revisit in the app. EPUB vocabulary can also be exported to Anki.
  • Separately, optional automatic English course capture in the Chrome extension requires English, an active course, learning enhancement on, and LangBox credits.
  • Dictionary lookups alone and custom API key (BYOK) translations do not create automatic course questions, and not every translated passage produces a question.
