Strong Verbs

When you write, you should always use strong verbs. Strong verbs tell more about something than a weaker verb.

Walk is a weak verb.
You can change it up to be swagger, hobbled, zoomed, etc.

Look is a weak verb.
You can change it to appear, peer, stare, etc.

You don't always have to use strong verbs, but in most cases, it engages your reader a little more. It can tell more about characters. Or it can make a better paper.

  2. Use objective language, write meaningful headlines and subheads and avoid marketing jargon or exaggerated claims to build credibility.
