Words can be very powerful. You have been finding this out by using appealing adjectives and bossy verbs in your planet adverts. Use a thesaurus (online link here: http://thesaurus.com/) to find five synonyms for the following words. Only write down the words which you understand.
- Beautiful (adjective)
- Sad (adjective)
- Happy (adjective)
- Said (verb)
- Looked (verb)
- Ate (Verb)
- Walked (verb)
Choose one synonym from each group and put them into a sentence to show that you understand the shades of meaning expressed by these different words. We will explore this more in class. Use a complex sentence if you can. Try the connective first!
