Thesaurus are dictionaries of synonyms and
antonyms. Now I have chosen a new word, in this case “counterfeit” and I have
looked for it in http://theasaurus.com.
Here you can consult the result:
As you see, it is shown two lists with synonyms
and antonyms of this word. At first, the words are shown in a list where the
more accurate synonym or antonym appears at the beginning. You can stand out a
word from that list according to its complexity or its length because there is
a tool for it. You can also know which of the words of the list are more common
or are used in informal situations by clicking these options. Finally you will
choose your option taking into account all these variables.
For example, in the sentence “Its terms of
service forbade stolen goods and counterfeit currency” the word “counterfeit”
could be replaced by the word “false”, taking into account that is not an
informal situation and is a common word.
