Synonyms and opposites

Words with nearly the same meaning, like vaak and dikwijls, keep your writing varied. Opposites, like warm and koud, help you say exactly what you mean.

Years 5-6 of primary and 1st stage of secondary school10 to 13 yearsDraft: Not yet checked by a Dutch teacher.

Why

Your essay says leuk three times: een leuke dag, een leuke film, leuke vrienden. How do you make that more interesting?

With synonyms: words that mean roughly the same. Een gezellige dag, een spannende film, toffe vrienden. Your text becomes richer and your reader stays awake.

Opposites, on the other hand, help you say something sharply: not warm but koud, not always but nooit.
