English synonyms - Popular words to use

instead

A collection of language rescources: for teachers, writers and students of English alike: a list of some commonly used words and their useful synonyms (see also a Transition Words) to increase your vocabulary:

Definition: a synonym is a word having the same or nearly the same meaning as another word or

a phrase Antonyms are words which have the opposite (or nearly opposite) meaning For

example: slow and fast

A thesaurus is a resource similar to a dictionary that helps writers to search synonyms - as a

device to compose a verbose and scintillating text This list provides some examples of

commonly employed synonyms

Utilizing synonyms is an elegant and frequently applied method to to make a text more pleasant

to read If the same word is used very often in several sentences, it might very well be the case, that this same word should describe something different in each of the sentences Since

synonyms are usually nuanced variations with slightly different meanings, their use will

emphasize special characteristics, and thus the text will be more precise

Students are more likely to use a word in writing and speaking if they have some context when they learn it Thus, an important aspect of vocabulary buildup is teaching words in related groups A Students vocabulary is augmented and the writing is enriched when students are encouraged to utilize a variety of synonyms so that readers can "see, taste, and feel" what they write
