What are some examples of synonyms used in sentences?

Answer 1

Generally, you wouldn't use more than two synonyms in the same sentence. Instead, to give variety to a paragraph, you'd use a synonym as a similar word to avoid repeating the same words from sentence to sentence or paragraph to paragraph.

The words in bold are synonyms in these example sentences:

• Tom commented that Sally was very pretty and Mike agreed that Sally was very attractive.
• Although the man was destitute, he was not poorin spirit.
• Mary claimed she was happy because she felt so content.
• Lethargic generally means a person is very tiredand extremely sleepy.
• George's financial problems were great obstaclesand impediments to paying his monthly bills.
• Little Johnny met his grandfather for the first time and thought, "Wow, he's ancient and really old.
• The WikiAnswers web visitor entered his question which the software read as a query.
• The teenager didn't know which utensil to use first at a formal dinner until her mother pointed to the salad fork.
• The teacher said that use, utilize, employ, and exerciseare synonymous.
• The customer asserted that she would use, utilize, employ, and exercise all rights due to her under law.
• Teachers agree that it is pretentious, exaggerated, and flaunting to load sentences with synonymous words when just one would do.
• Although the college student thought she was showing how smart, intellectual, clever, and scholarly she was with using as many synonyms as she could fit in a sentence, she was sharply disappointed when she saw her words crossed out with the professor's red marker.
