The prefix "syn-" means "together," so it makes sense that synonyms are words that mean the same, or that are similar to another. Learning synonyms is a great way to add variety to writing, without the help of a thesaurus! Navigate the nuances of synonyms and antonyms with our synonyms exercises. Practice picking out the synonym from a sentence and matching up sentences that have the same meaning.

All of our online exercises are written by education experts with student interaction experience, and are based on national curriculum standards, so no matter what, you can be sure we know what we're talking about. Pair our synonyms exercises with more language learning like prefixes and suffixes to boost written and speaking skills.
