THESAURUS

After task 3 we have a new entry for a similar task, in this case, the number 4.

Here we have explored a ‘Thesaurus’. Thesaurus are dictionaries of synonyms and antonyms and this is exactly the information I have found when I have looked up the word ‘really’ in http://thesaurus.com/

In the case of ‘really’ we only find one tab with different synonyms and antonyms down these but for other words, we have as many tabs as meanings of the word. This way you can choose the best word depending on the meaning you are interested in.

My results when I looked up the word ‘really’ were:

Synonyms for really

adv without a doubt

absolutely	legitimately	admittedly	for real	no ifs ands or buts
actually	literally	as a matter of fact	in actuality	nothing else but
certainly	surely	assuredly	in effect	of course
easily	truly	authentically	in fact	positively
genuinely	undoubtedly	beyond doubt	in point of fact	precisely
honestly	unquestionably	categorically	in reality	unmistakably
indeed	well	de facto	indubitably	verily

Antonyms for really

doubtfully	dubiously	indefinite
questionably

And after this, it explains other different words related to ‘really’.

I think this kind of dictionary is very useful for English learners, especially in writing and speaking tasks to avoid repetitions.
