Important examples of stroll in TOEIC

Vocabulary examples from the TOEIC test

In TOEIC vocabulary questions, 'stroll' usually refers to walking in a relaxed manner.

▪He decided to take a stroll after dinner.
▪He decided to walk slowly after dinner.

Example of a confusing word: stride (to walk with long steps)

▪He decided to take a stride after dinner.
▪He decided to walk with long steps after dinner.
"Stroll" means "to walk in a leisurely and relaxed way," which fits the context of a casual walk after dinner. "Stride," on the other hand, means "to walk with long, decisive steps," indicating a different pace and purpose. The sentence "He decided to take a stride after dinner" is awkward because "stride" does not convey the relaxed nature of a "stroll." Thus, "stroll" is the correct choice for expressing a leisurely walk.

Grammar examples from the TOEIC test

'Stroll' is used as both a noun and a verb in TOEIC grammar questions, often requiring identification or correct usage.

▪They decided to stroll through the park.
