Keywords are those words that are reserved to be used for a specific task. These words cannot be used as IDENTIFIERS. You cannot use a keyword to define the name of a variable or method. Keywords are used in PROGRAMS to use the features of object-oriented programming. 

For example, the abstract keyword is used to implement abstraction and the INHERITS keyword is used to implement inheritance by deriving subclasses in C# and VISUAL Basic, respectively. 

The NEW keyword is universally used in C# and Visual Basic to implement encapsulation by creating objects.
