synonyms and antonyms

To start off, what exactly ARE synonyms? Synonyms are words, morphemes or phrases that mean the exact or nearly the same as another word, morpheme, or phrase! For example, the word ‘colourful’ has many different antonyms (for example: bright, dramatic, vivid, striking and so on)! Antonyms on the other hand are the opposite to another word, phrase or morpheme. A few example of this is the word small is an antonym to the word big, the word wet is an antonym to dry, the word clean is an antonym to the word dirty et cetra! You can thank me later.
Going back to synonyms, some synonyms actually improve the sentence, for example:

Boring sentence: The small mouse walked down the path

Now all you need to do is slap in a few better words to replace the bad ones!

Good sentence: The microscopic mouse scurried down the dirty suburbs.

So, if we know what synonyms can do, what about antonyms? We know that antonyms can actually make a sentence the exact opposite! We know this because:

Sentence one: The big elephant walked slowly through the jungle.

Sentence two: The small meerkat ran quickly through the desert.

That’s all! Thankyou for looking and I hope this helped you!

Alien: Anytime! Sike!
