What are synonyms antonyms and homophrones?

Let's break down these word-relationship concepts:

Synonyms

* Definition: Words that have the same or nearly the same meaning.

* Example:

* Happy: Joyful, cheerful, delighted

* Big: Large, huge, enormous

Antonyms

* Definition: Words that have opposite meanings.

* Example:

* Hot: Cold

* Up: Down

* Strong: Weak

Homophones

* Definition: Words that sound the same but are spelled differently and have different meanings.

* Example:

* There, their, they're

* To, too, two

* Hear, here

Important Note: There's no such thing as a "homophrone". It's likely a misspelling of "homophone".
