The difference between a thesaurus and a dictionary is that a dictionary gives you the meaning of a word. A thesaurus gives you synonyms (words that are similar to the word you're looking up) and antonyms (opposite of the word you're looking up).
Be careful choosing a synonym. Look up the meaning in the dictionary to be sure it CAN take the place of the original word. Use archaic words sparingly, if at all.
