What is an antonym? A quick refresher course on antonyms: An “antonym” is a word that means the opposite of another word. For example: Happy and Sad are antonyms because they are opposites of each other. Another example: Imaginary and Real are antonyms. Hint: Antonyms are only words that are opposites by definition, not just things that don’t generally go together. For example, Silly and Sad are not antonyms. They do not generally go together, but they are not opposites. Question for you: which of these following words are a antonym for boring? Click on the answer that best fits.
