1, grasp the meaning: although synonyms express similar meanings, they often differ in expressing certain characteristics or degrees of things. Pay attention to the difference when distinguishing.

2. Limit the scope of meaning: Although some synonyms refer to the same thing, the scope they refer to is large or small, and this difference is also a criterion for distinguishing synonyms. For example, the scope of "frontier", "border" and "border" is getting smaller and smaller. "Frontier" refers to the territory far from the center and close to the national border.

3. Try to figure out the meaning: Although some synonyms refer to similar meanings, they often refer to different focuses due to different morphemes, so their usage is different. Such as "scenery" and "scenic spots", "scenery" mainly refers to scenic spots and scenes. "Attractions" focus on the location of the scenery.

4. Distinguish between parts of speech and grammatical functions: Synonyms generally have the same parts of speech, but some are different or not exactly the same. For example, "birth" and "birthday", the former is a verb and the latter is a noun. Due to the different parts of speech, the usage is naturally different. ?

5. Sense of language and first impression: Choosing words in the blanks also examines students' daily vocabulary and language accumulation. Many fixed collocations or conventional sayings can make a sense of language.
