Play with it
English often has many words for one idea. Tap a word to reveal its synonyms — words with a similar meaning — and a quick note on what it means.
Learn
Synonyms are words that mean nearly the same thing. They let you say one idea in many ways:
The more synonyms you know, the bigger your vocabulary — and the easier it is to read and write well. Use the explorer above to collect some.
The poem Try Again in your Poorvi reader carries one strong idea: perseverance.
Read the full poem in your NCERT Poorvi reader, then ask: what does the poet want you to do when something is hard?
Good writers pick the synonym that fits best. Each synonym carries a slightly different shade of meaning, so the right choice depends on what you want to say.
Worked example. Your story keeps repeating the word "happy". Name two livelier synonyms you could use instead.
Swap happy for glad or joyful (also cheerful, delighted) — the meaning stays the same, but the writing feels fresher.
Where you'll meet it
Swapping a dull, repeated word for a precise synonym makes your essays and stories vivid and keeps the reader interested — a skill that earns marks in every written exam.
When you know many words for one idea, you understand more of what you read — and you can often guess a new word's meaning from a synonym you already know.

Modelled on the competency-based pattern — synonyms, choosing the right word, a comprehension question and an assertion–reason — testing whether you can use the ideas, not just recall them.
