What are synonyms and antonyms?

Answer 1

Synonyms are words that mean about the same thing. Some examples are:

Fast is a synonym of quick.

Long is a synonym of lengthy.

Laugh is a synonym of chuckle.

Antonyms are words that mean the opposite of each other. Some examples are:

Up is the antonym of down.

Left is the antonym of right.

Wet is the antonym of dry.

A way to remember Synonym and Same is that both start with S.
antonyms = opposites ex. big/small synonyms = words with the same or very similar meanings ex. small/tiny big/huge
A synonym is something that means the same thing; for instance: Joyful and Happy are synonyms. Antonyms are opposits, like : Sad and happy are antonyms

Synonym- a word with the same/similar meaning

Antonym- words that mean the opposite
nice kind

Synonyms are different words (or sometimes phrases) with identical or very similar meanings.

Antonyms are different words (or sometimes phrases) with opposite meanings.

Ok instead of reading there forever long example that makes little sense.

A Synonym is a word that means the same thing like- running and jogging are similar

a antonym is the opposite- leave/arrive

Good luck!
