Vocabulary Development Antonyms (Words nearly opposite in meaning);
Antonyms (Words nearly opposite in meaning)
Words that have opposite meanings are called antonyms. Examples of antonyms include hot and cold, up and down, and in and out. Antonyms can be used to describe different emotions, such as happy and sad, or to describe different actions, such as stop and go. In order to better understand antonyms, it is often helpful to think about words that have similar meanings. For example, the antonyms of “wet” and “dry” are two words that describe the opposite states of water.
When you are learning new vocabulary, it can be helpful to try to find an antonym for each new word. This can help you to better remember the word and its meaning. It can also be helpful to use antonyms when you are writing. Using antonyms can add variety to your writing and make it more interesting to read.
Here are some common English antonyms:

Perseverance is a quality which anybody who intends to succeed in any venture must possess. It is what helps us to overcome difficulties and achieve our goals. Without it, we would give up at the first sign of adversity. Perseverance is the key to success.
If you want to achieve something, you have to be willing to persevere. You have to be willing to put in the hard work and dedication required. There will be times when you feel like giving up, but if you persevere, you will eventually succeed.
Don’t give up – persevere. It is the only way to achieve your goals. Remember, perseverance is key to success

Describing Emotions (likes and dislikes)
There are a whole range of emotions that we experience on a daily basis. Some of these emotions are positive, such as happiness, love, and excitement. Other emotions are negative, such as anger, sadness, and fear.
Generally speaking, we tend to like positive emotions and dislike negative ones. This is because positive emotions tend to make us feel good, while negative emotions tend to make us feel bad.
However, there are also times when we may experience emotions that are mixed, such as both happiness and sadness at the same time. And there are also times when we may not be sure how to feel about a particular emotion.
But in general, we usually have a pretty good idea of whether we like or dislike a particular emotion. So the next time you’re feeling something, ask yourself: do I like this emotion or not? If so, why? And if not, why not?
There’s no right or wrong answer to these questions – it’s entirely up to you.
In the previous lesson on structure, we learnt how to express emotions using certain structural forms. In this lesson, we shall learn how to express ‘likes’ and ‘dislikes’ using other forms.
