Synonym
  • A Synonym is a word which has the same , or
    almost the same, meaning as another word.
  • For example shut and close.
  • Using Synonyms helps you to avoid repetition and
    makes your writing more interesting.
  • You can find these in your dictionary, or
    thesaurus, but make sure that you use the same
    part of speech. Look carefully at the definitions
    before making your choice.
