Which sentence has the same meaning?

Key Notes :

What Does ‘Same Meaning’ Mean?

Imagine you and your friend both want an ice cream cone. You might say, “I want ice cream!” Your friend might say, “I would like some ice cream.” Both of you want the same thing: ice cream! That means your sentences have the same meaning.

Sometimes, we use different words to say the same thing. It’s like wearing different clothes, but still being you! These sentences are like twins – they look different, but they mean the same!

Examples!

Sentence 1: The cat is on the mat. Sentence 2: The mat is under the cat.

Both sentences tell us the same thing: where the cat and mat are. Even though the words are switched around, they mean the same!

Sentence 1: It is raining. Sentence 2: The rain is falling.

Both sentences mean that water is coming down from the sky!

Sentence 1: I am happy. Sentence 2: I feel good.

Both sentences mean the person is experiencing joy or a positive emotion!
