Topics in Synonyms and Antonyms
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.
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-.
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).
