Let's solve this
synonyms worksheet step by step.
---
🔹 What are synonyms?
Synonyms are words that have
similar meanings. For example:
👉 *big* and *large* are synonyms.
We need to pick the word from the parentheses that has a similar meaning to the word on the left.

Now, let’s go through each one:
---
1)
begin → (stop, start, finish)
✔ start
✔️ "Begin" means to start something.
✘ stop / finish = opposite of begin
---
2)
near → (her, for, close)
✔ close
✔️ "Near" and "close" mean almost the same thing.
✘ her = pronoun, not related; for = preposition, doesn't match
---
3)
small → (tiny, large, mouse)
✔ tiny
✔️ "Tiny" is a synonym for small.
✘ large = opposite; mouse = animal, not a size
---
4)
loud → (quiet, noisy, big)
✔ noisy
✔️ "Loud" and "noisy" both describe high sound levels.
✘ quiet = opposite; big = size, not sound
---
5)
talk → (whisper, speak, shout)
✔ speak
✔️ "Talk" and "speak" are synonyms.
✘ whisper = soft talk; shout = loud talk — not exact synonyms
---
6)
mad → (angry, silly, smack)
✔ angry
✔️ "Mad" can mean angry (especially in American English).
✘ silly = foolish; smack = hit — not synonyms
---
7)
damp → (wet, grass, wash)
✔ wet
✔️ "Damp" means slightly wet.
✘ grass = plant; wash = action or cleaning
---
8)
fix → (six, make, repair)
✔ repair
✔️ "Fix" and "repair" mean to mend something.
✘ six = number; make = create, but not always same as fix
---
9)
howl → (cry, wolf, loud)
✔ cry
✔️ "Howl" is a loud cry, often by animals.
✘ wolf = animal; loud = describes volume, not an action
---
10)
end → (start, finish, begin)
✔ finish
✔️ "End" and "finish" mean to conclude.
✘ start / begin = opposite
---
11)
walk → (stroll, run, jog)
✔ stroll
✔️ "Stroll" is a relaxed walk.
✘ run / jog = faster than walking
---
12)
