While completing a series of vocabulary cards, a student came to me with the word "strained". One of the questions was asking about a time they were "mentally strained".
Student: I don't know what this is asking. I can think.
Me: Well, what does strained mean?
Student: I don't really know.
Me: Read the definition again.
Student: I did. I just can think of a time I was mentally strained.
Me: I think right now would be a perfect example.
Student: What? I can even think of anything, how is that straining?
Me: Just write it down.
