Spell Bee Word: Daughter


Basic Details

Word: Daughter

Part of Speech: Noun

Meaning: A girl or woman, when we talk about her as the child of her parents.

How to Spell Daughter

Watch out for: dauter, dawter, doughter

Memory tip: Daughter has the same augh as caught and taught: the teacher taught her daughter to swim.

Usage Examples

Example 1: Mr and Mrs Iyer have one son and two daughters.

Example 2: The farmer's daughter helps to milk the cows before school.

Example 3: Ammi calls me her favourite daughter, though I am her only one.
