Revise the sentence using a stronger verb

1. Identify Weak Verbs

  • Weak verbs often include common words like “is,” “are,” “was,” “have,” “do,” “go,” and “make.”
  • 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.”

4. Examples of Stronger Verb Replacements

  • Weak: “He made a cake.” → Strong: “He baked a cake.”
  • Weak: “They are talking.” → Strong: “They chatted.”
  • Weak: “The car went fast.” → Strong: “The car raced.”
  • Weak: “She is very happy.” → Strong: “She radiated happiness.”
