This is a volume in a series of reference guides dealing with common problems of the English language and designed to complement normal class work, giving pupils the chance to check and correct language errors. It aims to improve and develop students' vocabulary and introduce them to the workings of a thesaurus. The book takes groups of words dealing with common topics and shows pupils how to use them in speaking and writing. It contains over 80 groups of words with between five and twelve words in a group. Each group has a heading, usually the most general word in the group, and each offers a list of words with similar meanings, an explanation of each word's particular meaning, an example of the use of each word and a list of contrasting words, if there are any. The index contains all the synonyms and antonyms discussed in the text, giving a numbered reference for each.
