INSTEAD OF “VERY”

6 anos atrás
Have you ever wished you could express yourself in English more accurately?

Here is an easy way to improve your fluency and start beating that frustration you feel sometimes, when you are trying to express the intensity of something but “very” just isn’t enough. Instead of very something, try using one of these words next time you are describing a place, a situation, a person, a feeling, or whatever it is that you are trying to describe. Write some sentences using these, and start using them when you speak:

Very loud----------------------------------------deafening
Very often---------------------------------------frequently
Very old------------------------------------------ancient, archaic
Very old-fashioned---------------------------obsolete
Very visible--------------------------------------conspicuous
Very clear----------------------------------------obvious
Very painful-------------------------------------excruciating

Very perfect-------------------------------------flawless
Very poor----------------------------------------destitute
Very powerful----------------------------------compelling
Very pretty--------------------------------------gorgeous
