NOTE: Differences between English and Spanish

  1. In Spanish nouns usually come before adjectives. Example: un vestido rojo.

    In English adjectives always come before the noun they are describing. Example: a red dress.

  2. In Spanish the plural noun hermanos can refer to both brothers and sisters, whereas in English brothers are always boys and sisters are always girls.

  3. The same is true of the contrast father/mother. In Spanish los padres include both the father and the mother. In contrast in English, you can't say fathers to refer to both father and mother; you must say father and mother to refer to both. You can also say parents to refer to both father and mother.

Join words from the following list to their antonyms:
One way of learning words is to associate them with their opposites: their antonyms. These words possess an inherently incompatible binary relationship. Someone that is tall can't be short. Something that is up can't be down. Understanding the relationship between opposites can increase your vocabulary and your ability to correctly use the new words you have learned.
