Introduction
Synonyms are words that are similar, or have a related meaning, to another word. They can be lifesavers when you want to avoid repeating the same word over and over. Also, sometimes the word you have in mind might not be the most appropriate word, which is why finding the right synonym can come in handy. Synonyms help us avoid repetition in our speech and writing and expand our vocabulary.
Example:
- Introverted: shy, bashful, quiet, withdrawn
An antonym is a word that is opposite in meaning to another word.
Example:
- Predator: prey
