their vocabulary and improve their writing. There are thousands of

between terms that have similar meanings so that learners can find
the most appropriate words for what they want to say. Synonyms are
explained in a clear and accessible way with student-friendly example
sentences to help learners avoid always using the same basic words such
as good, bad,
happy, nice, etc.
