Fascinating Fact:

Learn pairs by theme: emotions (joy to sorrow), movement (advance to retreat), evaluation (approve to condemn). Grouping helps memory.

In 11 Plus English, antonyms appear in vocabulary questions and reading passages. You pick the word with the opposite meaning, using context clues and knowledge of prefixes like un, in, and dis.

Synonym: A word with a similar meaning to another word, such as quick and fast.
