Understanding the Concept

Hello, Class! Today we are going to learn about sentences that have the same meaning. This is called “synonyms.” When two sentences mean the same thing, we say they are equivalent.

What Does “Same Meaning” Mean?

When we say two sentences have the same meaning, it means they say the same thing in different words. For example:

  • Sentence 1: The cat is big.
  • Sentence 2: The large cat is here.

Both sentences tell us about a cat that is big.

Key Rules

  1. Look for Synonyms: Words that mean the same thing. For example, “happy” and “joyful.”
  2. Check the Idea: Make sure both sentences express the same idea.
  3. Different Words, Same Meaning: The words can change, but the meaning stays the same.

Tips and Tricks

  • Break it Down: Read each sentence carefully.
  • Think About the Meaning: What is the main idea of each sentence?
  • Use Pictures: Sometimes drawing a picture can help you see the meaning better.
