# Query Substitutions

In the realm of language, there are numerous ways to express a single concept or word. Query substitutions play a crucial role in ensuring that your chatbot comprehends these variations and provides consistent responses.

**Creating Original-to-Substitute Pairs**

* In the ORIGINAL column, list the various ways a word or concept can be expressed.
* In the SUBSTITUTE column, specify the substitute to replace the original utterance.

By incorporating query substitutions, you simplify communication and improve the chatbot's ability to interpret user input accurately.
