Using a Thesaurus
Even though prowl is listed as a synonym for roam you wouldn’t want to say that the student prowled around the classroom looking
for a pencil.
Be careful when using a Thesaurus because every synonym has its own connotation of meaning.
A Thesaurus is a book of Synonyms. It should be used to improve your word choice whenever you are writing.
