    COMPOUND WORDS

    words are joined to form a new word.

    COLLOCATIONS
    Collocation comprises the restrictions on how words
    can be used together, for example which prepositions
    are used with particular verbs, or which verbs and
    nouns are used together. Collocations are examples of
    lexical units. Collocations should not be confused with
    idioms.

    "The problem for the learner of English is that there


    are no collocation rules that can be learned. The native
    English speaker intuitively makes the correct
    collocation, based on a lifetime’s experience of hearing
    and reading the words in set combinations."

    What are synonyms?

    Synonyms are words that have the same or at


    least a similar meaning. Usually you can say
    that one word is synonymous with another.
    For example, the words "huge" and "big" are
    each other's synonyms.

    Whether words are synonyms can depend on


    the context. "Big" and "great" are synonyms
    when "great" refers to size and not quality.
    Why should synonyms be
    used?
    Utilizing synonyms is a fairly simple method
    to divers the usage of words to make a text
    more pleasant to read. If a word is used very
    often then it might be a good idea to use
    synonyms. The sentences will then feel less
    repetitive, especially if the word in question is
    the first word in every sentence.
    Synonyms are seldom exactly equal to each
    other. Synonyms are usually nuanced
    variation with slightly different meaning
    depending on the context. Due to this
    synonyms are a great way to emphasize
    characteristics, among other things. You can
    say that a "big house" is "gigantic" to
    Denotations
    a literal meaning of the word

    A denotation is the strict, literal, dictionary


    definition of a word, devoid of any
    emotion, attitude, or colour.

    Denotation often links with symbolism,


    as the denotation of a particular media
    text often represents something further; a
    hidden meaning
    ANTONYMS
    A word having a meaning opposite to that of
    another word:

    after - before
    asleep – awake
    beautiful - ugly
    bright - dull
    laugh - cry
    noisy - quiet
    SUFFIXES
    A suffix is a letter or group of letters added
    at the end of a word to make a new word.

    fanaticism fogeyism

    strong government successful


    management

    He has no friends at all - he is friendless.


    PREFIXES
    A prefix is a word part added to the beginning
    of a word to form a new word.

     The prefixes dis-, il-, im-, in-, non-, and un-all


    mean "not."
