Synonyms

Synonyms are words that mean the same thing. Here are a few examples: 


  seldom infrequently rarely

  often frequently regularly usually 

  talk chatter babble mutter chat

  story tale fable 

  smart intelligent brilliant wise clever
Even some of the spelling words have synonyms: 

  autumn - fall

  ship - vessel galleon yacht boat

  trail - path walkway 

  town - city village

  stream - river brook creek

  cliff - ledge
Of course there are more synonyms for the spelling words, but you get the idea from this list that most words have at least one synonym.

Here is a sample question which you could see on a test: 


  Select the synonym for jacket.

    a) vulture

    b) shirt

    c) coat

    d) helmet
Obviously the answer is c (coat).
