key notes :
1. Identify Weak Verbs

- Example: “She is walking to school.”
2. Choose a Stronger Verb
- Replace weak verbs with more descriptive or specific verbs that convey a clearer action.
- Example: “She is walking to school.” → “She strode to school.”
3. Revise the Sentence
- Integrate the stronger verb into the sentence for clarity and impact.
- Original: “The dog is running quickly.”
- Revised: “The dog sprinted.”
