Antonyms are an important part of the 11+ grammar school exams. I have designed 100 worksheets on this area. I have chosen a group of over 600 words. There are 10 questions per sheets and pupils write a, b, c or d. The teacher will be able to have a lively discussion when going over the work with the pupils, discussing the meaning of all the words. Of course they can be used by not only grammar school pupils. They would suit anyone of the top end of primary, adults with learning difficulties or foreign students learning English.
