Using strong verbs is something that takes practice, but can be simple if you think of the verbs as being the action, but also as giving a picture of what the subject is doing.

Verbs do not describe, that is the job of adjectives and adverbs, but verbs do help the reader "see" what is happening, especially when they are used well.

For example, the sentence "I went to the store." can be made much more descriptive by using strong, active verbs. Think about what the subject looks like DOING each of the different verbs:

I walked to the store.
I hopped to the store.
I strolled to the store.
I ran to the store.
I skipped to the store.

Simply changing the verb in each of these sentences shows a completely different action that helps the reader envision what the subject is doing.

Need answered asap x : why did the prince of aaragon choose the silver casket in the merchant of Venice

Pavlova-9 [17]

The Prince of Arragon is the second suitor to come try for Portia's hand (the second one we see in the play, anyway), in Act 2, Scene 9. Like the Prince of Morocco, the Prince of Arragon reasons his way through the caskets. The lead is too plain, he suspects, and the gold too ostentatious; the "many" people who value appearances over reality would choose it but would be mistaken to do so.

In considering the silver casket, Arragon considers carefully, reflecting that many who are rich and powerful do not deserve to be so, while many who are poor and weak deserve more wealth and power than they can claim. After much reflection, Arragon decides he does, in fact, deserve Portia, saying:

Which sentences in these excerpts reflect the common theme of soldiers’ reluctance to talk about their war experiences? Ambush b

umka2103 [35]

In the first excerpt it is this sentence:"It was a difficult moment, but I did what seemed right, which was to say, "Of course not," and then to take her onto my lap and hold her for a while."Here we see that the author is really not comfortable with the question his daughter asked him and thus he lies to her. You can see the pain he feels in just one sentence and the horrors that are hidden behind. One day he may tell her but not then."They would discuss their experiences right up to the time of battle and then suddenly they wouldn't talk anymore."This sentence in the second excerpt show the unwillingness of the usually boastful people to talk about the war in detail. The author notices that they don't remember and it could potentially be that they wanted not to remember. Unconsciously they blocked the horrible things they had done and seen. c;
