What are the opposite words for pull?
The antonyms for the word "pull" are push, lift, raise, heave, and shove. While pull refers to the act of dragging or tugging something towards oneself, push means to exert force and move something away from oneself. Lift implies raising something from a lower position, while raise suggests moving something up from its current position. Heave expresses the effort required to move something heavy upwards or forward, whereas shove means to apply pressure and push something with force. If we're talking about transportation, "putting it in reverse" would also be an antonym for "pull". Understanding these antonyms can help us communicate and better articulate the movement or action we are trying to convey.
