Key Topics to Revise

1

What Are Synonyms?

  • Synonyms are words that have almost the same meaning.
  • They are not always 100% identical in meaning — there can be slight differences in tone or intensity.
  • Example: 'afraid' and 'scared' both mean fear, but 'scared' shows stronger fear.
2

What Are Antonyms?

  • Antonyms are words that have opposite meanings.
  • Examples: 'hot' and 'cold', 'fast' and 'slow'.
  • Some antonyms are formed by adding prefixes like un-, in-, im-, il-, ir-, dis-.
3

Using Prefixes to Form Antonyms

  • Prefixes like un-, in-, im-, il-, ir-, and dis- are added to words to create antonyms.
  • un- is used with many adjectives and verbs: fair → unfair, happy → unhappy.
  • in- and im- are used based on the first letter of the word: possible → impossible (im- before p), correct → incorrect (in- before c).
