Are ants small or are they little? Are both words correct?
Yes! Because small and little mean the same thing!
Sometimes two or more words can mean the same thing, or almost the same thing. We call these words synonyms. For example:
| Flies are fast. | Flies are quick. |
| That butterfly is pretty. | That butterfly is beautiful. |
| I am afraid of spiders. | I am scared of spiders. |
