Contradictory Words

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is a straightforward vocabulary exercise. It lists pairs of words in two columns and directs students to write the opposite of each word. The words presented are a mix of adjectives, verbs, and nouns, such as “pretty,” “alive,” “subtract,” and “easy.” Students have a lined space next to each word where they are expected to write the antonym.

The worksheet is designed to enhance the students’ vocabulary by familiarizing them with antonyms. By engaging with this activity, students learn to identify words with opposite meanings, which is an essential skill for language development. The variety of words chosen also encourages students to think across different parts of speech, thereby deepening their grammatical understanding. Additionally, this task supports cognitive development by challenging students to actively recall and apply their knowledge of word meanings.
