Meaning Reversal

In this worksheet, students rewrite sentences so that they express the opposite meaning by replacing bolded words with antonyms. Learners must ensure that the new sentences remain complete, logical, and grammatically correct. The activity helps students deepen their understanding of vocabulary, particularly opposite word pairs, and how changing a key word can shift an entire sentence’s meaning. This strengthens skills in sentence construction, context comprehension, and lexical flexibility. Students also practice precise word choice as they flip meanings accurately.
