Word Analogy
MELC: Supply other words or expressions
that complete an analogy.
(K to 12 BEC CG: EN7V-IV-c-23.1)
What I Need to Know

Whenever we read or hear words, we tend to think of things that are connected to them so
that we may fully understand what the words mean as they are used. This ability involves a lot
of analogy. We may not at all be fully aware about it, but simply connecting words to a set of
ideas, or comparing them to get full grasp of their meanings is already analogical in nature. With
this kind of thinking, we further expand and deepen our vocabulary. Likewise, we develop logical
reasoning, and analytical and critical thinking skills. Consequently, we build a better system or
network of understanding, not only of the words, but also of the situations and events around us.

Thus, in this module, you shall learn about word analogies to help you further enhance your
ability in understanding relationships between or among words. As you study this module, keep
in mind the following aims:

Most Essential Learning Competency: Supply other words or expressions that complete an
analogy. (K to 12 BEC CG: EN7V-IV-c-23.1)
Specifically, this module aims to:
 define analogy;
 identify the type of analogy between words or word pairs; and,

Lesson
that Complete an Analogy
What’s In
Good day, learners! Welcome to the new school year. In this week’s lesson, you will learn
about word analogy. Big word, huh? Well, don’t worry because as you go through this lesson,
you will realize that completing word analogies is actually very easy. Now, grab your pen and
paper, and be ready to answer the fun activities set for you in this module.

Below is an activity called the Filipino Name Game. In this task, your knowledge of our
Filipino culture and identity will be tested. Let us see how familiar you are with things that relate
to us Filipinos.

Activity – Filipino Name Game

Directions: Name five (5) things for each category below. Write your list in a separate sheet of
paper.

What’s New
Activity 1 – Classified Box
Directions: Group the following objects under their proper categories in the boxes below. Write
the words in the correct boxes.

English 7 Module 1 - Quarter 1, Page 2 of 12

This time, let us study the answers you have provided in the previous activity.

Activity 2 – All in One

Directions: Choose the letter of the correct answer for each item.
1. Which among the choices below is the keyword that relates to all the words in FUN UNDER
THE SUN category?
a) barbecue party b) marine life c) summer d) tsunami

2. All the ingredients in the category 100% HUNGER SATISFIED are used in making a _____.
a) fast food b) hamburger c) restaurant d) spaghetti

3. _______ is the keyword that relates to all the words in the category LEARNING GOES ON.
a) clinic b) medical laboratory c) online learning d) school

How well did you do in the preceding tasks? Did you answer most or all of the questions
correctly?

The initial tasks you've just performed tested your skill in determining the relationships of
the words with one another. Knowing how to determine relationships of ideas or words is a very
important skill in completing word analogies, but what does word analogy actually mean?

As you proceed to the discussion, you will get to know the definition and types of analogy.
You will also learn the steps in completing word analogies. Well, what are we waiting for? Let’s
start!

What is It

Word analogy (also called verbal analogy) is simply a comparison between or among
words.

By word analogy, we establish the relationship of one word with another word, or a set of
words with another set of words based on their similar or shared features.

Take the words "truck" and "land" as examples. How do you think are they related? What
connection do these words have? "Truck" doesn't mean the same as "land." However, most will
definitely agree that a truck is a vehicle that travels by land. That is now where their connection
lies: the mode of transportation. Can you give other examples using this analogy?

Now, how is analogy done with word pairs? This time, let us take the word pairs 'shoot' and
'basketball', and 'spike' and 'volleyball' as examples. How are the words 'shoot' and 'basketball'
in the first pair related? how about the words 'spike' and 'volleyball' in the second pair? If you are
familiar with these games, you would think that 'shoot' is a one of the movements used in
basketball, while 'spike' is used in volleyball. Therefore, these two-word pairs are related
because they deal with movements in these particular games.

English 7 Module 1 - Quarter 1, Page 3 of 12

 In academic tests, analogy items usually come in pairs as shown below:

Have you already encountered test items similar to the one given above? Which of the
choices do you think is the answer? Well, before you answer, let us find out what the expression
above means.

The colons ( : ) and double colons ( :: ) may make the item look like a complex formula, but
it can be simplified using plain language:

The expression is now read, "Foot is to sock as wrist is to _______." Reading word
analogy items this way makes it easier for you to establish the connection of words.

COMPLETING WORD ANALOGY ITEMS

In order to complete a word analogy item, there are basic steps you may follow. Let
us use the item given in the previous page:

First, draw a line between the word pairs in the analogy item (or you can simply
1 imagine a line that divides the item.)

Then, locate the side where there is a complete pair. In the example, the complete
2 pair is found on the left side.

3 Next, determine the relationship that exists between the words in the complete pair.

English 7 Module 1 - Quarter 1, Page 4 of 12

 How is one's foot related to a sock? Well, we can say that a person's foot gets
protected by wearing sock, or we could also say that a sock is worn on the foot. Clearly,
the relationship that exists between the foot and a sock deals with something one wears
for a certain body part.

4 Finally, once the connection between words in the complete pair is established, apply
that connection to the side where there is an incomplete pair.

Therefore, in the given analogy item, the missing word must be an object that is worn
on the wrist. Now, which of choices is used or worn on the wrist?

Is the belt for the wrist? No, it's used around the waist. How about eyeglasses? No.
They are for the eyes. How about the hat? Well, it is worn on the head. This leaves you the
last option which is the watch. Is the watch for the wrist? Yes!

Now, you've just found the right answer. WORD ANALOGY COMPLETED!

TYPES OF ANALOGY

Much more important than knowing the above procedure is having good vocabulary skills
which you can develop by learning various analogy types. With this, you may better analyze
word relationships.

English 7 Module 1 - Quarter 1, Page 5 of 12

 There are still many other types of word analogies. Some other analogies are
determined in terms of relationships between objects and their characteristics, between
periods and corresponding events, between famous places and figures, and many others.
