44Synonyms and antonyms
English is full of synonyms, which are words that have similar meanings. For instance,
cosy can also mean comfortable, snug and warm. Knowing which words are
synonyms of each other can help your child become a better writer, as they won’t
need to keep using the same word over again to express similar thoughts.
Conversely, antonyms are words that mean the opposite of each other. Cold is the
antonym of hot, and joyful is the antonym of sorrowful.
Using connectives
Connectives (or conjunctions) are words that link – they can join other words, whole
phrases or sentences to make text flow better. They can also be at the start of a
sentence or follow a semicolon in the middle of a sentence to show continuation of
thought, and this is what your child will work on in Key Stage 2.
Connectives are taught in Key Stage 1, but in Key Stage 2 they’re used in storytelling,
explaining a process, formulating ideas and writing more informed pieces of text.
Your child will learn about a group of connectives called time connectives, which
describe when something might have happened in a given sequence. Examples of
these include: in the beginning, meanwhile, then and finally.
