A thesaurus is useful for finding synonyms.

Synonyms

This KS2 English quiz takes a look at synonyms. Synonyms are similar meaning words or phrases. They can be very useful for improving the quality of your writing. Sometimes we use the same words over and over, which can be boring for our readers. Can you spot pairs of words which have the same meaning?

If you are interested in using lots of different synonyms in your writing, you might want to consider purchasing a thesaurus. This is rather like a dictionary, except it focusses on synonyms.

Try this synonym quiz to see how well you do.
