Antonym is a word we use to mean opposite. So if I said, "what's an antonym of old?" you could answer with "new", for example.

nerves (noun) are a group of long thin fibres that carry information or instructions between the brain and other parts of the body. A nerve is like an electric cable that passes electric current. When your hand touches a something hot, the hand sends the feeling to the brain through nerves.
You don't have to be a doctor to use the word nerve because it is used in a few natural English expressions you should know.
Millions of people across the UK begin casting their _A_ in the general election that will decide the next government.

I'm sure that you have a pretty good vocabulary, but do you sometimes use the wrong form of a word when speaking and writing? It's a common problem that can be fixed with careful consideration and practice. Let's get the ball rolling (start) with this exercise.
Task 1: Choose the correct missing form in each sentence
Task 2: Now the hardest part...write your own example sentences with the correct answers.
Difficult lesson for you today! I suggest that you read the news article through once before you try and find the missing words. Do you k now who Malcolm X is?

We use demonstrative adjectives to point out specific people or things.
This and that modify singular nouns.
This is used to point out something that is near by:
"This book I'm holding is very old."
Wh- Questions are a good way to find out more information because they cannot be answered with 'yes' or 'no'.
Let's practice using wh- question words to make questions. Choose the best word for each question.
When? = Time
Where? = Place
Who? = Person
Why? = Reason
How? = Manner (way/amount)
What? = Object
Which = Choice
Get ready for some verb tense review. Put the verb in brackets into the correct tense by thinking about the context of the sentence and, of course, being careful with the spelling. Only use one word per box.
Anyone who get's 10/10 should stand up and shout "I must be a genius!" in a loud voice!
Enjoy the weekend.
