Synonyms — Vocabulary words for kids

Word tip

Swap test — “put each option in place of the word — the synonym keeps the meaning”

1. Think of what the word means.
2. Put each option in its place in a sentence: “The film will begin / start at six.” The synonym keeps the meaning the same.
3. Opposites and unrelated words are not synonyms.

Use it for: Making essays and stories more interesting, synonym exercises in school tests, and Olympiad English.

Worked example: Which word means the same as “begin”? → start
