Understanding opposites: ‘wet’/‘dry’
Why is this important?
Opposites are used to describe concepts (e.g. an oven is ‘hot’, a fridge is ‘cold’) whilst recognising that other words (e.g. ‘warm’, ‘tepid’, ‘lukewarm’) represent various positions on the continuum between these two poles. These linguistic concepts are important in developing cognitive skills too.
