Let’s go step by step to match each word with its opposite.
We are matching words that mean the *opposite* of each other — like “hot” and “cold”, or “up” and “down”.
Here’s how we’ll do it:
1.
heavy → What is the opposite of heavy? Something that weighs very little →
light
2.
empty → Opposite of empty is when something has stuff in it →
full
3.
few → Few means not many → opposite is
many
4.
tall → Tall means high up → opposite is
short
5.
slow → Slow means not fast → opposite is
fast
6.
front → Front is the beginning or face side → opposite is
back
7.
soft → Soft means squishy or gentle → opposite is
hard
Now let’s check if all opposites are used once:
Left column:
- heavy → light
✔
- empty → full
✔
- few → many
✔
- tall → short
✔
- slow → fast
✔
- front → back
✔
- soft → hard
✔
Right column words:
fast, back, light, short, hard, full, many — all matched!
No duplicates, no leftovers. Perfect.
Final Answer:
heavy — light
empty — full
few — many
tall — short
slow — fast
front — back
soft — hard
