Choose the antonym

  • Definition: Antonyms are words with opposite meanings.
  • Examples:
    • Hot and Cold
    • Big and Small
    • Happy and Sad

  1. Recognize the Meaning: Understand the meaning of the word you are trying to find the antonym for.
  2. Find the Opposite: Look for a word that has the opposite meaning.
  3. Context Matters: Sometimes, the context in which a word is used can help determine the correct antonym.

  • Day and Night
  • Open and Closed
  • Full and Empty
  • Strong and Weak
  • Fast and Slow
  • Tall and Short
  • Rich and Poor

  • Sometimes the antonym of a word can be found by looking at the context in which it is used. For example, if someone says “The weather is very bright,” the antonym might be “dark.”

  • Practice identifying antonyms by using them in sentences. For example, “The movie was very long, but the sequel was quite short.”
