There are different ways of making antonyms or opposites for words.
- We can add a prefix like in-, im-, dis-, mis-, il-, ir-, un-. e.g. mobile-immobile, regular-irregular
- Sometimes the prefix is changed e.g. export- import, increase-decrease.
- With some adjectives, the suffix is changed e.g. fearful- fearless.
However, in many cases we have an entirely different word as the antonym.
