Antonyms are words that have contrasting, or opposite, meanings. Like so much of the English language, the word antonym is rooted in the Greek language. The Greek word anti means "opposite," while only means "name." Opposite name — that makes sense! Use examples of antonyms to help you choose the most appropriate word every time. The tips you have told are very helpful and can help students to learn English a lot. Many students master the fine points of English grammar but find themselves at a loss when it comes to actually having a conversation with native speakers. In reality, the only way to develop fluency in speaking is by huge amounts of listening, and then practicing. First of all, it’s important to find native speakers to practice with.
