One of the easiest ways learn about one words substitution is to use a systematic plus memory-friendly approach rather than just cramming the list of all the commonly used one words substitution. The practical step-by-step method to learn them is:
- Instead of learning them randomly, group them by theme or categories such as people or professions, actions, places, conditions
- Try to link the word to a funny or vivid image in your mind
- Learn in small batches such as 10 words per day. Try to keep a weekly review to strengthen the words learnt so far
- Try to use one words substitution in daily conversation or writing
- Practice the questions on one

Synonyms and One Word Substitution often seem same as both deal with replacing the words or phrases, but they are different in usage and scope. One words substitution replaces an entire phrase or sentence with a single, precise word that conveys the same meaning. An example of this is A person who loves books – Bibliophile. On the other hand, Synonyms have the same or nearly same meaning as another word in the given context.

Example:
· Independent: She finished her homework.
· Independent: She went to sleep.
Joined with coordinating conjunction: She finished her homework, and she went to sleep.

The main function of coordinating conjunctions is to join sentence clauses of equal importance, be it words, phrases, or independent clauses. They help maintain the balance in a sentence and make the structure smoother and more coherent. For example- She cleaned the room and arranged the books.

Coordinating conjunctions are words used to connect two or more elements of equal grammatical importance, such as words, phrases, or independent clauses, to create smooth and logical relationships between ideas.

For example, in the sentence “I wanted to go for a walk, but it started raining, ” the word but connects two independent clauses of equal weight, showing contrast between them.
