Lesson Introduction: Synonyms and Antonyms

Words are powerful and choosing the right one can make your writing and speaking more exciting! Synonyms are words that have the same or nearly the same meaning, while antonyms are words that have opposite meanings.

In this lesson, youโ€™ll learn how synonyms can help you avoid repeating the same word over and over, and how antonyms can help you clearly show differences. For example, happy and joyful are synonyms, while hot and cold are antonyms. By the end of this lesson, youโ€™ll be able to use synonyms and antonyms to better understand what you read and to express your ideas more clearly and creatively. ๐Ÿง โœ๏ธ
