We use analogies in almost every aspect of life to understand the inner meaning of concepts and objects .analogies form a large part of our life , mainly there are some kinds of analogies like
1.Synonyms
Synonyms are words that mean the same thing, and synonym analogies consist of two pairs of synonyms. The first pair of words mean the same thing, so the second pair must mean the same thing too.
Example = delay : stall :: allow : permit
2. Antonyms
Antonyms are words that mean the opposite, and so antonym analogies consist of two pairs of opposites.
Example = whisper : yell :: tame : wild
3. Object/Purpose
In object/purpose analogies, the first word in each pair names and the second word in each pair tells what the object is used for.
Example = book : reading :: guitar : music
4. Source/Product
Source/product analogies name a product and tell where it comes from.
Example = wheat : field :: cranberries : bog
5.Part/Whole
In part/whole analogies, the first word of each pair names a specific item, and the second word names a more general item that includes the first.
Example = home : neighborhood :: ant : colony
6.Animal/Habitat
In this type, the first word names an animal, and the second word tells where it lives.
Example = dolphin : ocean :: bear : forest
7.Characteristic
The first word in these analogies names a person or thing, and the second word describes or names a characteristic of that person or thing.
Example = marshmallow: squishy :: pretzels : crunchy
8.Operator
In these analogies, the first word names a thing, often a machine or a tool, and the second word is a name for the person who uses it.
Example = plane : pilot :: train : conductor

1. word : antonym = exciting : dull || word : synonym = slim : slender
2.1 . part : whole = finger : hand
2.2 cause : effect = drought : famine
3.1 worker : tool = carpenter : hammer
