Synonyms and Antonyms

Course modified date: 16 Jun 2022

Learn about synonyms and antonyms, what they are, what is meant by vocabulary and how synonyms and antonyms can improve your writing. This course is ideal for intermediate learners.

Introduction

In this course we are going to look at what synonyms and antonyms are and think about how we might use them in our daily writing.
Synonym is the word used when two words have the same or a similar meaning.
If you ever need to find a synonym but you cannot think of one off the top of your head, this is a time when you might use a thesaurus.
A thesaurus is similar to a dictionary because it lists words in alphabetical order but a thesaurus, instead of explaining what a word means, will actually give you a list of different words that mean the same or something similar to the word that you have looked up (meaning, it will give you synonyms for that particular word).

·       Understand what a synonym is
