WEEK 7
\nGRAMMAR
\nTOPIC: SYNONYMS
\nCONTENT:
\nSynonyms are words that are similar or nearly the same in meaning. For example, killing is a deliberate act that causes somebody\/something to die. It may mean murder, assassination, slaying, suffocation, strangulation, hanging, manslaughter, and bloodshed, butchery, taking life or destruction. However, a closer look at each word shows a form or manner of causing death which is different from the others. This example is to show that no two words means exactly the same thing in English language. Each word has its own peculiar shade of meaning although it can be used in some situations to replace another word.
\nHOW TO RECOGNISE SYNONYMS
