The opposite of an adjective is not always what it seems, for example the opposite of hot may not be cold. Some words have several opposites with quite different meanings such as happy, not happy and unhappy or satisfied, unsatisfied and dissatisfied. This session reviews several of these words, and the significant distinctions available to the advanced speaker.
These advanced-vocabulary one-hour single-topic sessions focus on accuracy, appropriacy and on developing the speaker's range, while considering the many different forms, meanings and usages, both literal and metaphorical.
- Word families
- Conjugations
- Usages, idiomatic and figurative
- Related vocabulary, synonyms, antonyms
- Uses and misuses
During the one-hour live online session, we review specific and challenging usages, and discuss any instances with which participants have difficulties; depending on time, we also review other topics which may arise.
A C1 or higher level of English is assumed.
This is a one-hour synchronous online interactive seminar; an in-person, face-to-face option is also available.
