If everything is expressed only by a single word in every situation, life would be boring. Luckily, we have synonyms to convey the same message in various ways. A number of competitive exams feature questions on vocabulary, especially on synonyms and antonyms.
Synonyms are the words that have the same or very similar meaning. In this series of articles, you will learn synonyms for commonly used words. Each article consists of a list of 15-20 words. Each word is accompanied by four synonyms. The lists are arranged in the alphabetical order of words.
