Antonyms are words that have opposite meanings. It is extremely important to master them to increase English vocabulary and express yourself better by showing contrast in feelings, thoughts, or descriptions. For example - the antonym of "happy" is "sad", of "cold" is "hot". An antonym can be a verb, adjective, adverb or noun. Antonyms are used in both written and spoken English to make communication more impactful and expressive. Having a good hold on the antonyms improves communication skills, vocabulary, writing, conversations, and reading comprehension.
