Okay; this explanation will help you differentiate between the 3 different connotations...

arabpride · Answer

Words that signal $POSITIVE$ connotation create a light, positive [obviously], "feeling" in a sentence. {The magnificent sun warmed the flourishing landscape with its rays extended like majestic arms.} Yeah, a lot of positively in that: The words: $magnificent$, $warmed$, $flourishing$, and $majestic$ indicate an overall positive sentence.

$NEGATIVE$ connotation does the exact opposite; the "feeling" of a sentence becomes dark and negative. {Underneath the torn, moldy carpets lay a stench so dizzying, the were forced to abandon the room.} A little gruesome, right? Well, that’s kind of the point: $torn$, $moldy$, $stench$, $dizzying$, $forced$, and $abandon$ all indicate negativity. 

And $NEUTRAL$ connotation is, obviously, neutral - neither positive nor negative: {I walked to the park.} Nothing so extravagant about that, huh. Well, that’s neutrality in a nutshell. Good Luck. ^-^
