Step-by-step solution for: Synonyms and Antonyms worksheet | Grade 4 PYP
Absolutely! Let’s solve this Grade 4 English worksheet on Synonyms & Antonyms step by step. I’ll explain each answer clearly so you understand the meaning and usage.
---
## ✔ WORD 1: although
> even though
✔ *Explanation:* “Although” is a conjunction used to introduce a contrast. “Even though” has the same meaning — it connects two ideas where one seems to contradict the other.
---
> because (or since)
✔ *Explanation:* “Although” shows contrast, while “because” shows reason or cause. They work in opposite ways in sentences.
Example:
- Although it rained, we went out. → Contrast
- Because it rained, we stayed inside. → Reason
*(Note: Some might say “therefore” or “so”, but “because” is the most direct functional opposite.)*
---
> Although she was tired, she finished her homework.
✔ *Explanation:* This sentence shows that even though she felt tired (a negative condition), she still did her homework (positive action). That’s the contrast “although” creates.
---
## ✔ WORD 2: am
> is / are (depending on context)
But since “am” is first-person singular, the closest synonym is:
> I am = I exist / I am present
However, for Grade 4 level, we can say:
> exist (as in “I am here” → “I exist here”)
OR more simply:
> be (the base form of the verb)
✔ *Explanation:* “Am” is a form of the verb “to be”. So its synonym is “be” — though we don’t usually use “be” alone in sentences. In simple terms, “am” means “I am” — which expresses identity or state.
---
> was not / am not
✔ *Explanation:* Since “am” is about current existence or state, its opposite is denying that state — “am not”.
Example:
- I am happy. → I am not happy. (antonym phrase)
*(Technically, “am” doesn’t have a true single-word antonym, so we use “am not” as the opposite concept.)*
---
> I am excited for the school picnic tomorrow!
✔ *Explanation:* “Am” is used here to describe how the speaker feels right now — their current state.
---
## ✔ WORD 3: among
> between (in some contexts)
But more accurately for “among” (used with groups of 3+):
> in the midst of or surrounded by
✔ *Simpler Grade 4 synonym:*
> in the middle of (when referring to being part of a group)
Example:
- She sat among her friends. → She sat in the middle of her friends.
---
> outside of or separate from
✔ *Explanation:* If you are “among” people, you’re part of the group. The opposite is being outside the group.
Example:
- He stood among the crowd. → He stood outside of the crowd.
---
> The cat hid among the tall grass.
✔ *Explanation:* The cat is inside or surrounded by the grass — showing it’s part of or within the group/area.
---
## ✔ WORD 4: amount
> quantity
✔ *Explanation:* “Amount” refers to how much of something there is — especially uncountable things like water, sugar, time. “Quantity” is a direct synonym.
Example:
- The amount of milk → The quantity of milk
---
> lack or scarcity
✔ *Explanation:* If you have a large amount, the opposite is having little or none — “lack” or “scarcity”.
Example:
- There was a large amount of food. → There was a lack of food.
---
> The amount of homework I have tonight is huge!
✔ *Explanation:* This sentence talks about how much homework — the quantity — the student has.
