For example, a learner who knows the word ―write‖ will know that its past tense is ―wrote ―
and it past participle is ―written.‖ The learner would know that ―written‖ is spelled with double
―t‖. The learner will also know when and how to use the various auxiliary verbs appropriately.
The learner would know that ―writing‖ is a verb that is used in the present continuous tense and
that ―writing‖ can also serve as a noun: e.g. the writing is on the wall. The learner would be
aware of the various synonyms of writing such as compose, drop a line, record, scribe and draft
and also know that its collocations are subject to syntactic modifications such as write effectively
and effective writing. The learner will also be able to use the word within various registers.
These various aspects are related to the depth of word knowledge, which is as important as
learning many words (breadth of word knowledge). English learners have been shown to be
lacking in depth of word knowledge, even for frequently occurring words (Verhallen and
Schoonen, 1993, as cited in Taylor, 1990).
