Spacious refers to a large area either indoors or outdoors that has lots of space to move. The size depends on the place we are talking about. For example: a park, a house, a room or even a car can be spacious. The opposite of spacious is crowded or cramped.Here are two examples.

  1. John’s bedroom at home was more spacious than his small dorm room.
  2. Metro Park is a spacious, green area in the center of the city. There is a lake, many trees, a football field and a jogging path.
