Dear Hayat khan,
The most popular way of remembering method is to read read and read as muchu can.....the more u see a use of word the more u will be in position to remember them..
#2. Make score card of every word and then amke one own sentence using that word as well.....and then keep those score cards with u all the times to revisit those when ever u have leisure time dear...

Hope u will be benefitted.


Regards
