Here's a little ditty to help you understand synonyms, antonyms, homonyms, and homographs! The weird, wild and wacky word title is a combination of the first syllables of each of the four words explained in the song.

Synonyms are similar like fast is quick
They mean the same like dense and thick
Either one or both of them
Synonyms are similar like fast is quick

Antonyms are different as night and day
Opposite words that aren't the same
Fast and slow; go and stay
Antonyms are different as night and day

Homonyms are funny. They sound the same
Like new, knew, and gnu, their spellings change
And they mean such different things
Homonyms are funny- like Maine, mane and main.

Homographs are tricky to pronounce
Like wind and wind; or bow and bow
They're spelled the same with different sounds
Homographs are tricky to pronounce.
