antonyms

An antonym is a word that means the opposite of another word.

bright

tidy

attic

borrow gracious

dim

sloppy

cellar

lend

rude

If the light is too bright , you can turn it down and make it dim . A tidy room is neat, and a sloppy room is messy. An attic is at the top of a house, and a cellar is at the bottom.

When you borrow , you get something. When you lend , you give something.

A gracious person is polite. A rude person is not polite.
