Hello,

For the development of my website, I need a multitude of examples of things that are generally opposed. (For example, the sun and the moon, white and black, etc.) But I quickly run out of ideas. Can you help me find several examples?

Thank you

    Hello,

    So, I doubt we can oppose the sun and the moon...

    On the other hand, you can oppose day and night
    hot and cold
    love and hate
    war and peace
    the left and the right
    Trump and Biden
    good and evil
    life and death
    truth and lies

    Etc...

    Best regards,
    Jordane

      Thank you very much!

      Actually, the word "opposite" is not suitable; I'm talking about things that can be dissociated, not necessarily two things that confront each other. The sun and the moon are a good example; I hope you'll understand me!

      But thank you!

        I still don't understand the definition you are trying to give to express your need...
        Because, if I rely on what you say...
        In that case, you can use the Sun with a Cabbage... the Sun with a sneaker, the Sun with a watermelon...
        In short, anything really...

    - Republicans and Democrats
    - Whites and others
    - Billionaires and the homeless
    - Prudes and libertines
    - Citizens and illegals
    - Athletes and the obese

    Good evening.

    You seem to know how to use the Internet. So do it again.

    Hello,

    in the New Testament, you will find many other examples:

    - the Pharisee and the tax collector;
    - those who weep and those who laugh;
    - the rich and the poor;
    - heaven and hell;
    - etc.
