Synonyms, Antonyms, and Homonyms

Synonyms Synonyms are different words which have the same meaning, or almost the same meaning. Synonyms can be nouns, verbs, adverbs or adjectives, as long as both are the same part of speech. For example: - chair and seat (nouns) - go and leave (verbs) - quickly and rapidly (adverbs) - long and extended (adjectives)

Synonyms need not be single words, as in war and armed conflict Synonyms need not be single words, as in war and armed conflict. Here are more synonyms: - tremendous and remarkable - cat and feline - baby and infant - sick and ill - quickly and speedily A word can have more than one synonym depending on which meaning you use for the word. For example: - expired could have the synonym no longer fresh, if you mean milk that's past its sale date. - expired could have the synonym dead, if you mean no longer alive.

Antonyms Antonyms are words which have opposite meanings. The words hot and cold are antonyms. So are up and down, and short and tall. A word can have more than one antonym, depending on which meaning you use for the word. For example: - short could have the antonym tall if you are referring to a person's height. - short could have the antonym long if you are referring to to the length of something.

In many languages, including English, you can sometimes make antonyms by adding a prefix: - real and unreal are antonyms - flexible and inflexible are antonyms

Homonyms A homonym ('same name') is a word that has the same pronunciation and spelling as another word, but a different meaning. For example, mean (an average) and mean (nasty) are homonyms. They are identical in spelling and pronunciation, but different in meaning. Here are some more homonyms: - punch (a drink) and punch (a hit) - dog (an animal) and dog (to follow closely) - bat (an animal) and bat (baseball equipment)
