My daughter has homework that I just can't figure it out.
She has to use these words: Content, Rude, Shy, Terrified, Boisterous, Stupendous, Cantankerous and Good.
And the 5 words to match them to are: Honest, Careful, Best, Reduces and Interesting.
If anyone can help matching the antonyms together I would greatly appreciate it.I need antonyms for these words please?
There must be some mistake.
I can not see in the first group any antonyms (opposites) to words in the second group.
You have 8 words (none of which are synonyms) and 5 presumed
antonyms. Besides the fact that none of the 5 is an antonym of any
of the 8, the disparity in numbers should tell you that this assignment
is screwed up. I need antonyms for these words please?
None of these words match. You may need to check the homework again.I need antonyms for these words please?
There is something wrong there: for a start you can't find separate antonyms for eight words from a list of five words.
Just as suggestions if she wants something to show at class:
'content' - 'discontented'
'rude' - 'polite' ( or 'elegant' in a slightly different sense of 'rude' )
'shy' - 'bold'
'terrified' - 'fearless' ( or 'terrifying', perhaps)
'boisterous' - 'reserved' ( or 'withdrawn' perhaps)
'cantankerous' - 'ameliorative' ( or 'even-tempered', perhaps )
'good' - 'bad'
It is a mess of a question, and as it stands no one should be expected to answer it.
[ It does strike me as quite important that pupils learn for themselves that teachers and parents aren't infallible. That is part of growing up. ]
