4. What is Synonyms?
Synonyms- can be any part of speech as long as both words belong to the same part of
speech.
- A synonym is a word that has the same or almost the same meaning as another word.
Examples:
big-large
cold-chilly
An example of synonyms is:
mad, angry and furious stare, gaze and watch
Synonyms are words with the same meaning. We use synonyms to make a sentence
more interesting. Repeating one word can get boring. This is why synonyms are used.
For example:
The cat is large.
The cat is big.
Big and large are synonyms. The words mean the same thing. When writing a
sentence, we can replace a word with its synonym.
a. happy
b. *angry
c. smart
