Synonym Swap

This worksheet focuses on replacing underlined words in sentences with one appropriate synonym that keeps the sentence’s meaning intact. Students must choose replacements that fit grammatically and conceptually, ensuring that the substituted word functions correctly within the sentence. The task strengthens vocabulary knowledge, context clue application, and semantic precision. By avoiding repeated synonyms and selecting only one-word options, learners refine their ability to choose accurate alternatives. This activity supports writing clarity and variation by reinforcing how different words can subtly change tone or meaning. Students also develop editing skills that help improve both revised and original writing drafts.
