NOW, LET'S LEARN ABOUT ANTONYMS...

ANTONYMS are words that are opposite in meaning to one another.

  • For example, the word 'small' is an antonym for the word 'big'.
        e.g. The red ball is small
              The blue ball is big.

  • These two sentences have two different meanings because they had compared about the sizes between the blue ball and the red ball.
