Synonym

A synonym is a word that means the same thing as another word. If you replace a word in a sentence with its synonym, the meaning of the sentence won't really change that much.

There are, of course, shades of meaning, and not every synonym is an exact substitute, but sometimes we just need a different word for a change. Some words have dozens of synonyms, such as funny: amusing, hilarious, laughable, slapstick, witty, and many others. Other words, sadly, have no synonyms, like postmodernism. Check your thesaurus (dictionary of synonyms) — it's all there!

Example: Thanking someone in a letter for their advice. What synonym was used for which word here, in the sentence below?

Dear Sir,

Firstly, I would like to thank you for responding to my request. Your advice was much appreciated and I am grateful for your assistance.

Kind regards,

Sam
