Synonyms for Minor?

Hi teachers,

There is a minor demonstration.

A synonym for minor in this case could be, 'unimportant'?

As a synonym 'small' for 'minor' is also possible?

Thanks in advance

Dear JohnParis,

Thank you so much for your reply and help.

The fact is that I do have quite a few dictionaries on line. Free ones of course. The thing is sometimes the synonyms I pick up from the dictionaries on line, are not appropriate or natural for the English language, though they have a latin root and they seem possible to me. But they are not.

Dear Think,

What a great answer!

I enjoy discussing these matters with you.

If teaching English is (or will be) your profession, then a hard-cover dictionary and thesaurus are necessary tools of your trade (just as a hammer is to a carpenter and a stethoscope is to a doctor). You won't be good at what you do if you don't own each, and since you need to buy them, why not

Thanks a lot. I really appreciate your help. It means a lo
