Synonyms are words that have the same or similar meanings. They can be used to vary the language used in a piece of writing, to add precision or clarity, or to add interest or variety. Synonyms can be helpful when you want to avoid repeating the same word over and over, or when you want to express an idea in a more precise or specific way.

Below are some of the most useful synonyms,  synonyms words for IELTS. This list of synonyms words will help you expand your English vocabulary.

What Are Synonyms?

A synonym is a word that has the same or similar meaning as another word. Synonyms are used to vary the language used in a piece of writing, to add precision or clarity, or to add interest or variety. They can be helpful when you want to avoid repeating the same word over and over, or when you want to express an idea in a more precise or specific way.

For example, you might use the synonym “enormous” instead of “big” to describe something that is very large, or you might use “thrilled” as a synonym for “happy” to describe someone who is feeling very excited.

Synonyms can be found in a thesaurus, which is a reference book that lists words with similar meanings. You can also use a search engine or online thesaurus to find synonyms for specific words. Some common synonyms include “happy” and “joyful,” “big” and “large,” and “said” and “uttered.”

Using synonyms can help you to expand your vocabulary and make your writing more interesting and engaging. It can also help you to express your ideas more clearly and effectively. However, it is important to use synonyms appropriately and to consider the specific context in which you are using them.

Synonyms Words – What is a Synonym?

Synonyms Words List for IELTS

Last Updated on January 9, 2023

 
Vocabulary Builder Course

A synonym is a word with the same or a similar meaning as another word.

For example, the words big and large are synonyms. Buy and purchase are also synonyms – although we tend to use “buy” in a more informal context, and “purchase” in a more formal context.

Keep in mind that some synonyms in the list below might not be “perfect” synonyms – there may be slight differences in meaning and connotation. For example, the words smart and wise. Both of them mean “intelligent,” but the word wise also implies that the person has additional good judgement and deep perception about life.

Synonyms are often used in different collocations, too. For example, we can describe either a person or an idea as brilliant, but only a person can be astute.

Powerful, potent, and firm are synonyms for strong. A person with a strong voice can have a powerful voice, but not a potent voice. A strong alcoholic drink can be potent, but not firm.
