Fascinating Fact:

Homophones are not synonyms, there, their, and they’re sound the same but mean different things.

In KS3 English, you compare near meanings to improve precision. Synonyms can shift tone and clarity, while homophones only sound alike. Choosing carefully strengthens explanations, arguments, and creative writing.

Key Terms

Synonym: A word with a closely similar meaning, such as begin and start.
Homophone: Words that sound the same but have different meanings or spellings, like there, their, they’re.
Nuance: A small difference in meaning or feeling between words.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

What is the difference between a synonym and a homophone?

Synonyms have similar meanings; homophones only sound alike. For example, smart/clever are synonyms, but there/their/they’re are homophones with different meanings.

How do I choose the best synonym in KS3 writing?

Match meaning, register, and context. Pick the word that fits your audience and sentence pattern without changing the precise idea.

Are synonyms always interchangeable?

No. Many carry different connotations. For example, thin can sound negative, while slim is often positive.
