The difference between antonyms and synonyms

A basic definition of a synonym is a word that has a similar or identical meaning to another word it is compared to. For example, a synonym for 'big' is 'large'. An antonym on the other hand, is when the second word is opposite to the first one, such as with 'big' compared to 'small'.
Introduction

It is beneficial to employ a diversity of words during the IELTS Writing and IELTS Speaking examinations so the examiner can see that you have a wide vocabulary. When examining antonyms and synonyms, keep in mind which terms are less often used. For instance, it would be wise to use "start" first because it is more frequent than "commence." For instance, "In the beginning" might be effectively paraphrased as "From the commencement," so be sure you are familiar with the entire collocation.
