Play with it
Almost every word has an opposite. Tap a word to reveal its antonym — a word with the opposite meaning — and a quick note on what it means.
Learn
Antonyms are words that mean the opposite of each other. They come in pairs:
Knowing antonyms sharpens your vocabulary — you learn two words at once and understand each one more clearly by its opposite. Use the explorer above to collect some.
In the essay Three Days to See, Helen Keller — who was blind and deaf — imagines what she would do if she could see for just three days.
Read the full essay in your NCERT Poorvi reader, then ask: what does Helen Keller want you to notice and treasure?
Opposites do not only build vocabulary — they make your writing vivid. Placing a word next to its antonym creates contrast the reader can picture at once: light against dark, joy against sorrow.
Worked example. What is the antonym of the word "remember"?
"Remember" means to keep something in your mind. Its opposite is forget — to let it slip out of your mind. So remember ↔ forget.
Where you'll meet it
Knowing a word's opposite pins down its exact meaning. When you can say what a word is — and what it is not — you choose words with precision in every subject and exam.
Contrast brings writing to life: light against dark, joy against sorrow, friend against foe. Opposites let you paint a scene the reader can feel, the way Helen Keller does in her essay.
