Do you know the difference between "Stop" and "Go"? I hope so when you're near a busy street! Words like "on" and "off" are opposite words, called antonyms. Learn about them with games and Dr. Seuss!
"Push" and "Pull" are antonyms.
Antonyms are words that mean the opposite, or have different meanings. As you watch an excerpt from Antonyms Lesson Video, from Homeschool Pop, write down two pairs of opposite words. You will have a chance to interact with the video by choosing the pair of opposites. Tell someone your answer before the video shows you the answer. You may need to pause the video to do this.
Share the words you write down with another person.
Tell your parent or teacher what an antonym does, then move on to the Got It? section for more practice with antonyms.
