No, not all English words have antonyms or exact opposite meaning word. Many Verbs and adjectives have clear opposites such as "arrive" is the antonym of "leave", and "weak" is the antonym of "strong". However, some words, like "chair", "banana", and "car" don't have any direct antonyms. Also, many complex or abstract concepts might not have true antonyms. In such cases, the antonym is based on context or related word pairs. Many words have more than one antonym depending on how they are used in a sentence. Hence, the learner must learn it with context in mind.
