Synonyms

Synonyms are words that are similar or have a related meaning to another word.
They can be useful when you want to avoid repeating the same word over and over.

Types of Synonyms

Near-synonyms are words that are closely related but have different connotations, attitudes, or implications.
Near-synonyms are not exactly interchangeable, and one word may be more appropriate for a context than another.
