Verbs

Using Better Verbs

Some verbs, like ‘said’ can be a bit boring and we can use a lot better ones that tell the reader more.

Look at all the ways we can say how things are said below:


yelled                     whispered                    cried

exclaimed             retorted                        shouted

informed              assumed                       believed

laughed                 called                             suggested    

remarked              sniggered                      warned

scolded                 demanded                    predicted

replied                   questioned                   grumbled

agreed                   begged                          announced

repeated               muttered                      sighed


...and lots more!!  Just think how the meaning of something changes depending on how it is said.
