Synonym Chooser

How does the verb present contrast with its synonyms?

Some common synonyms of present are afford , bestow , confer , donate , and give . While all these words mean "to convey to another as a possession," present carries a note of formality and ceremony.

In what contexts can afford take the place of present ?

When might bestow be a better fit than present ?

While in some cases nearly identical to present , bestow implies the conveying of something as a gift and may suggest condescension on the part of the giver.

When is it sensible to use confer instead of present ?

In some situations, the words confer and present are roughly equivalent. However, confer implies a gracious giving (as of a favor or honor).

Where would donate be a reasonable alternative to present ?

The synonyms donate and present are sometimes interchangeable, but donate is likely to imply a publicized giving (as to charity).

When could give be used to replace present ?

While the synonyms give and present are close in meaning, give , the general term, is applicable to any passing over of anything by any means.
