Great! Now that you know what antonyms are, let's explore the easiest ways to create them for your IELTS exam.
Tip #1: Master the Magic of Prefixes:
Unleash the "Un-": Flip the script and turn positive words negative!

 Example: Think "unhappy" (opposite of happy) or
"unsuccessful" (opposite of successful).
Master the "In-":
Transform positive actions into their negative counterparts like "inactive" (opposite of active) or "inefficient" (opposite of efficient).
Tip #2 Context Clues
Look for contrasting ideas in the sentence itself to find the opposite word.

 The tiny house was frugal, prioritizing functionality over lavish decorations. In this sentence:
Frugal is an unknown word. Lavish is used in contrast with frugal, suggesting its opposite meaning
