0 Synonyms vs Antonyms:
These two can be hard to figure out. People tend to think of thesauruses as these books that provide a long list of words that can replace another word but sometimes those words don’t fit in the same context you are using them in. You need to know and understand the slight differences in tone between each synonym so you could pick the one that will work best with your sentence.
On the other hand, antonyms should indicate degrees of opposition. For example, angry is the opposite of happy but unhappy might be more fitting.
Synonyms
