00:00Hi kids! Today we will learn what are antonyms. So let's start.
00:09Antonym is a word that has opposite meaning to another word.
00:16For example, cold and hot have opposite meanings, so they are antonyms.
00:25Let's have a look at some more examples.
00:29This is the picture of a large ball. We also have the picture of small ball.
00:38So large and small are antonyms as they have opposite meanings.
00:45Soft and hard are opposite to each other, so they are antonyms.
00:53Rough and smooth, clean and dirty, tall, short, fat, thin, fair, dark.
01:06All these are examples of antonyms.
01:11Let's have a look at more examples.
01:22Close, asleep, awake, absent, present.
01:29So kids, now we know what are antonyms, so let's perform an activity.
01:36Here we have two pictures. Let's find differences in the two pictures that make antonyms.
01:45Picture A has dark background.
01:48Picture B has light background.
01:52Picture A has a small tree in it.
01:56Picture B has a big tree in it.
02:00So there are two pairs of antonyms.
02:04Dark, light, small, big.
02:11Here again, we have two pictures.
02:14Let's find differences in the two pictures that make antonyms.
02:20Picture A has a young man in it.
02:24Picture B has an old man in it.
02:28Picture A has a tall boy in it.
02:32And picture B has a short boy in it.
02:37So again, we have two pairs of antonyms.
02:40Young, old, tall, short.
02:46Now we have some sentences.
02:49We have to reverse the meaning of the sentence by using antonyms.
02:55This box is empty and useless.
02:59We have to reverse this sentence by using antonyms.
03:05We can write,
03:07This box is full and useful.
03:13He is a strong and successful person.
03:18We have to reverse this sentence using antonyms.
03:23He is a weak and unsuccessful person.
03:28It's a sunny day and we are feeling very hot.
03:33It's a cloudy day and we are feeling very cold.
03:38So we have to reverse the sentence using antonyms.
03:44This is a transparent box with many bright stones in it.
03:50Now we have to reverse the sentence using antonyms.
03:54This is an opaque box with few dull stones in it.
04:00So we now know what antonyms are.
04:05Now we will be learning some antonyms in a quick fashion.
