English Synonyms and Antonyms
thought
Idea is in Greek a form or an image. The word signified in early philosophical use the archetype or primal image which the Platonic philosophy supposed to be the model or pattern that existing objects imperfectly embody. This high sense has nearly disappeared from the word idea, and has been largely appropriated by ideal, tho something of the original meaning still appears when in theological or philosophical language we speak of the ideas of God. The present popular use of idea makes it to signify any product of mental apprehension or activity, considered as an object of knowledge or thought; this coincides with the primitive sense at but a single point — that an idea is mental as opposed to anything substantial or physical; thus, almost any mental product, as a belief, conception, design, opinion, etc., may now be called an idea. Compare FANCY; IDEAL.
Synonyms:
apprehension, archetype, belief, conceit, concept, conception, design, fancy, fantasy, idea, ideal, image, imagination, impression, judgment, model, notion, opinion, pattern, plan, purpose, sentiment, supposition, theory

How to use thought in a sentence?
I think my first thought was, 'For crying out loud, what century is this?' there was no suggestion that men needed any help deciding what to put on in the morning.
I never thought about quitting or anything like that -- it's not who I am, and it's not in my nature, if something stands in my way, I'll find a way around it or find a way to deal with it head on. That's not denying that things were tough in the very beginning. I did fall down a lot and it did hurt.
They said yes, and I thought, well I'm going to go for this, i said 'What's the chance of riding in the motorcade?' and they called back and said the Secret Service would whisk me into one of the cars (after greeting the President).
My best friend was doing foster care for teenage girls and I thought,' Well, that would be nice to do the same,' but I wanted little kids, so, I talked to the Department of Human Services and agreed to take kids with medical needs.
I thought it was tic-tac, those same contact plays down the stretch in the last three, four minutes weren’t called. I don’t know what is a foul and what isn’t a foul.
