Worksheet Overview

Antonyms are words that have opposite meanings.

For example, big and small.

two elephants

Antonyms can be used throughout speech and written English and can be a great way to show comparison or difference. Maybe you need to explain a change in something, or show how different two characters are in a story.

In this activity, you will work to discover antonyms and use them in sentences.

giant and small man
