The antonyms are those words whose meanings are opposite to each other. For example: light – darkness.

Antonyms can be nouns (Final start), adjectives (clean dirty), verbs (buy Sell) or adverbs (fast slow).

They differ from synonyms, which are those words that have the same meaning, or at least equivalent.

Types of antonyms

• Reciprocal antonyms. Neither word could exist without the other. For example: buy Sell; give - receive.
• Gradual antonyms. Although they are words with opposite meanings, between them there are gradual terms. For example: black White (middle term: Gray) or cold - hot, (intermediate term: warm).
• Complementary antonyms. The existence of one term prevents the other from existing. For example: married single or Living Dead (a person cannot be dead and alive at the same time).
