Do you ever wonder why a grammatically correct sentence you’ve written just lies there like a dead fish?
I sure have.
But still the sentence doesn’t work.
Even Mark Twain was quoted, regarding adjectives: “When in doubt, strike it out.”
That’s not to say there’s no place for adjectives. I used three in the title and first paragraph of this post alone.
There’s no quicker win for you and your manuscript than ferreting out and eliminating flabby verbs and replacing them with vibrant ones.
How To Know Which Verbs Need ReplacingYour first hint is your own discomfort with a sentence. Odds are it features a snooze-inducing verb.
As you hone your ferocious self-editing skills, train yourself to exploit opportunities to replace a weak verb for a strong one.
At the end of this post I suggest a list of 249 vivid verbs you can experiment with to replace tired ones.
What constitutes a tired verb? Here’s what to look for:
3 Types of Verbs to Beware of in Your Prose 1. State-of-being verbsWhat constitutes a tired verb? Here’s what to look for:
These are passive as opposed to powerful:
Is
Am
Are
Was
Were
Be
Being
Been
Have
Has
Had
Do
Does
Did
Shall
Will
Should
Would
May
Might
Must
Can
Could
Am I saying these should never appear in your writing? Of course not. You’ll find them in this piece. But when a sentence lies limp, you can bet it contains at least one of these. Determining when a state-of-being verb is the culprit creates a problem—and finding a better, more powerful verb to replace it—is what makes us writers. [Note how I replaced the state-of-being verbs in this paragraph.]
Resist the urge to consult a thesaurus for the most exotic verb you can find. I consult such references only for the normal word that carries power but refuses to come to mind.
I would suggest even that you consult my list of powerful verbs only after you have exhausted all efforts to come up with one on your own. You want Make your prose to be your own creation, not yours plus Roget or Webster or Jenkins. [See how easy they are to spot and fix?]
Examples
Impotent: The man was walking on the platform.
Powerful: The man strode along the platform.
Impotent: Jim is a lover of country living.
Powerful: Jim treasures country living.
Impotent: There are three things that make me feel the way I do…
Powerful: Three things convince me…
Powerful verbs are strong enough to stand alone.
Examples
The fox ran quickly dashed through the forest.
She menacingly looked glared at her rival.
He secretly listened eavesdropped while they discussed their plans.
3. Verbs with -ing suffixesExamples
Before: He was walking…
After: He walked…
Before: She was loving the idea of…
After: She loved the idea of…
Before: The family was starting to gather…
After: The family started to gather…

Positive Adjectives: The Ultimate List
Instead, using positive language is a great way to avoid problematic interactions, get a better communication experience, and create a friendly, supportive atmosphere for the other person!
Positive adjectives make it easy to compliment others and put them at ease.
But what exactly are positive adjectives? What are some examples of these adjectives? And finally, what are some synonymous adjectives you could use? We will talk about this more, but first, let’s start with a simple question:
What Are Positive Adjectives?Positive adjectives describe a person, place, thing, idea, or experience in a good, positive way.
These words can express different positive emotions, such as love, hope, happiness, and joy. Using these adjectives can make others feel motivated, uplifted, confident, or encouraged.
Most importantly for non-native speakers, positive adjectives can help ensure that your conversations remain cheerful and friendly.
List of Positive Adjectives A-ZSo, in order to better understand positive adjectives, we will divide this list into two parts: adjectives to describe personalities (of people) and adjectives to describe appearance (people or objects).
For each word, we will provide a simple definition and a couple of synonyms. This way, you can learn more words and build your vocabulary!
Positive Adjectives for Emotions, Personality, and Feelings
While there are adjectives to describe pretty much anything, many positive adjectives are reserved for describing people. More specifically, many positive adjectives describe a person’s emotions, personality, general behavior, and feelings.
Let’s look at a few common positive adjectives for describing a person’s intangible characteristics:
A-C D-H I-P R-W Positive Adjectives for Appearance
Positive adjectives don’t have to describe personality and feelings. In fact, there are plenty of adjectives to describe the appearance of things as well. Many of these adjectives are positive and can apply to both people and things.
Let’s look at a few common positive adjectives to describe appearance:
Common Synonyms for “Good”
Some of the most common positive adjectives are simply variations of the word “good.” Rather than using the same word to describe everything that is positive, the following adjectives can be used in place of “good” to amplify its meaning:
ConclusionWe hope this list of positive adjectives was helpful! Remember, if you want to avoid being rude or accidentally expressing negative sentiments, the words above are a great place to start. You’ll also want to learn both positive and negative adjectives so that you will have a better understanding of which words to use at what time, depending on the context of your conversation. Adding any of these positive adjectives to your vocabulary will help keep your English conversations cheerful and friendly.
Now that you know what these adjectives mean, can you use them correctly in real life conversations? We’ve invited our lead instructor to shed some light on the usage of a couple of these words that are particularly challenging to students.
Many students falter on these adjectives because they don’t have opportunities to use them in their daily lives. SpeakUp is built to solve exactly that problem: you can practice newly learned vocabulary in live group sessions, with immediate feedback from an experienced native English teacher. This helps turn passive knowledge into active language skills. And you will get to understand the nuances of these words in context. Sign up for a trial today!
351 Strong Verbs To Make Your Writing Pop, Fizz And Sparkle
Why do the words jump off this page?
Why does this writing feel energetic and strong?
Why is it so fast-paced?
And do you wonder why your draft text seems a tad limp in comparison?
It happens to all of us.
First drafts often require an injection of power and pizzazz. First drafts are full of weak verbs, and weak verbs make your writing limp, flabby, and listless.
In contrast, strong verbs add action, vitality, color, and zest. So, the “secret” to writing with gusto is to choose stronger verbs.
What are strong verbs?Strong verbs engage your senses, and help readers picture a scene (verbs in bold):
You feel the air reverberating when he slams his fist on the table. The teacups jiggle, his face reddens, and his voice thunders.
Strong verbs allow readers to visualize actions. Instead of only reading words, they’re drawn into your writing, experiencing your story.
But strong verbs don’t need to convey powerful action. Subtle action can evoke powerful feelings, too. For instance:
He cradles the baby, strokes her dark hair, tickles her chin, and hums a lullaby.
Strong verbs are precise and concrete. In contrast, weak verbs are abstract and generic-they don’t help you visualize a scene. Examples of weak verbs are “to be,” “to provide,” “to add,” and “to utilize.” You can’t picture these words.
You can’t picture “provide feedback,” but you can visualize “shouting,” “lecturing,” and “scribbling.”
Strong verbs breathe life into abstract ideasOver the weekend, I read Ray Bradbury’s “Zen in the Art of Writing.” I enjoyed his word choice, and I loved how his verbs breathe life into abstract concepts, like storytelling and the Muse.
For instance, he describes how he started writing stories based on lists of nouns:
And the stories began to burst, to explode from those memories, hidden in the nouns, lost in the lists.
And he writes about the Muse:
The Muse, then, is the most terrified of all the virgins. She starts if she hears a sound, pales if you ask her questions, spins and vanishes if you disturb her dress.
And on eating books:
I tore out the pages, ate them with salt, doused them with relish, gnawed on the bindings, turned the chapters with my tongue!
Strong verbs in business writingYou might think strong verbs are only for fiction writers.
But that’s untrue.
Here’s Nancy Duarte in her book ” Resonate ” (about engaging your audience with story-based presentations):
Throughout history, presenter-to-audience exchanges have rallied revolutions, spread innovation, and spawned movements.
And:
When a great story is told, we lean forward, and our hearts race as the story unfolds.
And:
Haven’t you often wished you could make customers, employees, investors, or students snap, crackle, pop, and move to the new place they need to be in order to create a new future?
Here’s an example of Apple’s copy:
So whether you’re listening to music, watching videos, or making speakerphone calls, iPhone 7 lets you crank it up. Way, way up.
And:
Apple Watch Series 2 counts more than just steps. It tracks all the ways you move throughout the day, whether you’re walking between meetings, doing cartwheels with your kids, or hitting the gym.
“To do” in the last sentence is, of course, a weak verb. Apple’s copywriters could have changed “doing cartwheels with your kids” into “cartwheeling with your kids” without disrupting the rhythm and making the sentence stronger.
It is nouns and verbs, not their assistants, that give good writing its toughness and color.
~ Strunk and White (in the Elements of Style)
How to choose strong verbsNo clear distinction exists between strong and weak verbs. It’s a gliding scale, and it’s up to you as a writer to decide how strong you’d like your verbs to be.
For instance, “to walk” is stronger than “to go” because it gives you an indication of how someone moved. But stronger options would be: to saunter, to hike, to shuffle, to trudge, to stride, or to plod. Each of these verbs gives you an indication of how someone walked:
to saunter: picture a girl walking rather leisurely, perhaps peeking into the shop windows
to hike: picture a woman in walking boots with a backpack, walking at a good pace
to shuffle: picture an elderly woman moving ahead gingerly, hardly lifting her feet
to trudge: picture a girl in wellies making a big effort, perhaps walking through the snow or mud
to stride: picture a lady walking as if on the catwalk, with long strides
to plod: picture a tired woman with sagging shoulders, walking rather tiredly
Strong verbs can also be used for abstract language. For instance, you could say you generated ideas during your brainstorm session. But how did your ideas arrive? For instance:
A few ideas popped into your mind
Your mind exploded with ideas
A stream of ideas burst forward
Ideas first trickled, then gushed forth
The brainstorm session spawned a stream of ideas
Strong verbs are more precise than weak verbs; they can paint clear pictures-even of abstract activities like thinking and generating ideas.
How to play with your verbsWhile quietly sitting at her wooden desk, she slowly formulated her thoughts and worked really hard to write her blog post. The next day she felt apprehensive and nervously hit publish. Would her audience be interested enough to read her content word-by-word?
To add energy to the text, the first step is to strip the content back to its bare bones:
While quietly sitting at her wooden desk, she slowly formulated her thoughts and worked really hard to write her blog post. The next day she felt apprehensive and nervously hit publish. Would her audience be interested enough to read her content word-by-word?
The stripped down version lacks nuance and color. So, let’s try stronger verbs and add a little context:
For hours, she sat at her desk. She wracked her brain, and slaved over her words to produce a blog post. And the next day? She hit publish with trepidation. Would her audience gobble up her words?
The thesaurus is your friend. Use a thesaurus to find more precise alternatives for weak verbs.
Your word choice shapes your voiceFinding your voice is about experimentation.
Write a first draft quickly using the words coming up into your mind.
Then, review your draft. In which sentences can you replace weak with strong verbs?
Which verbs can be more precise? Which verbs are sensory? Which verbs have a strong emotional connotation?
Play with your words. Have fun. And discover your voice.
A list of 351 strong verbs to inspire your writingThe list below is not exhaustive as many more strong verbs exist.
You can use a thesaurus to find other strong verbs, or keep an eye out for interesting verbs while reading.
To determine whether a verb is strong, ask yourself whether the verb has a sensory connotation. Does it make you hear, feel, smell, taste or see something? Does it paint a clear picture?
Onomatopoeic verbsOnomatopoeic words express a sound, so they’re a sub segment of sensory verbs.
The word onomatopoeia comes from the Greek for making words-the sound has formed the word that represents it.
Sensory verbsSensory verbs are strong because they paint clear pictures in readers’ minds and make them feel something.
Examples: To sparkle, to shine, to brighten, to wipe out, to muddle, to dazzle, to spark, to glow, to shimmer, to glimmer, to beam, to ripple, to tickle, to thrill, to explode, to burst, to guzzle, to gobble up, to breeze through, to drool, to spit, to roar, to thunder, to reverberate, to resonate, to rumble, to flavor, to smooth, to rub, to tremble, to whisper, to vibrate, to pulsate, to throb, to quiver, to buzz, to sip, to slurp, to slobber, to blemish, to applaud, to clash, to bounce, to blend, to shake, to savor, to tantalize, to tittilate, to pinch, to stroke, to brush, to bathe, to hose, to douse, to shower, to drench, to spray, to sprinkle, to trickle, to splash, to seep, to slide, to slump, to tumble, to nose-dive, to fly, to float, to clog, to swoop, to propel, to dig in, to dip, to surge, to wolf down, to shovel, to gulp down, to roll, to soar, to curl up, to unfold, to weave, to swipe, to tear, to polish, to pale, to vanish, to spin, to weave, to intertwine, to buckle down, to button up, to pierce, to stick to Strong action verbs-intransitive
Action verbs propel a sentence forward, keeping readers engaged.
Instead of using weaker words like walk or move, try to describe the movement more precisely so readers can imagine the movement.
Intransitive verbs can stand on their own, without an object. For instance, I walk is intransitive because there’s no object that is walked by me. I hit you is transitive-you are the object as you are hit by me.
Examples: To stumble, to wobble, to swing, to lurch, to glide, to zip, to sail, to crash, to dive, to tiptoe, to pussyfoot, to duck, to flip-flop, to dilly-dally, to linger, to stall, to sway, to sink, to spurt, to hurry, to dash, to nip, to race, to whiz, to flit, to chew, to stroll, to sashay, to amble, to plod, to ramble, to loiter, to meander, to roam, to snake, to gallivant, to twist, to dance, to jig, to jive, to waltz, to tango, to swirl, to hop, to trip, to skip, to whirl, to gallop, to stride, to zoom, to trot, to dart, to sprint, to shoot, to leap Strong action verbs-transitive
Below follow examples of words related to holding, pushing, or hitting something.
You can use these verbs for both concrete and abstract concepts. For instance, you can jump-start an engine or you can jump-start your career. You can squeeze a stress ball, or you can squeeze more to-do’s into your calendar. A cow regurgitates grass, and a blogger may regurgitate worn-out topics.
Negative emotional verbsA verb like to fail has a strong negative connotation but doesn’t necessarily paint an unambiguous or vivid picture in a reader’s mind. Failure comes in different forms-you can marginally fail an exam or your start-up can fail utterly, and the feelings associated can vary. Do you sob for days? Do you fret you’re a failure? Do you feel crippled or bruised by the failure? Do you feel devastated or shrug your shoulders?
Below follow examples of more sensory verbs with negative connotations:
Examples: To choke, to strangle, to smother, to gag, to suffocate, to throttle, to cry, to howl, to sob, to blubber, to scream, to groan, to moan, to fret, to fume, to bleed, to nag, to steal, to kidnap, to ransack, to loot, to pilfer, to plunder, to snitch, to puke, to vomit, to yelp, to bark, to growl, to grumble, to mutter, to spout, to suck, to scold, to plummet, to collapse, to skid, to agitate, to slave, to labor, to wreck, to ruin, to cripple, to devastate, to decimate, to trash, to shatter, to torpedo, to sabotage, to capsize, to maul, to crush, to slash, to bruise, to hijack Positive emotional verbs
The verbs below paint strong positive imagery in your reader’s mind.
Your apple tree can blossom, and your blog can flourish. A magician might be spellbinding, but your blog posts can hypnotize readers, too.
Examples: To flourish, to thrive, to bloom, to blossom, to mushroom, to smile, to grin, to cheer, to raise, to boost, to lift, to bolster, to invigorate, to energize, to excite, to enliven, to fortify, to hearten, to embolden, to animate, to arouse, to hypnotize, to spellbind, to sweep off one’s feet, to fall in love, to treasure, to unclog, to clarify, to disentangle, to liberate, to relieve, to release, to unshackle, to cuddle, to nestle, to huddle, to snuggle, to embrace, to hug, to kiss, to massage, to cradle, to enfold, to envelop, to sprout

Strong male names for babies vary from having a meaning of strength to an associated powerful figure that gives them a sense of courage or toughness. You can also choose from strong male names with an obvious word association like Valor, King, or Knight.
There are quite a few boy names that mean strong including popular picks like Ethan and Gabriel. There are also names like Alexander meaning “defender of the people” and Finley meaning “fair warrior” that have powerful meanings associated with them. More unique finds include Angus meaning “one strength” and Arsenio meaning “virile.”
Strong boy names for babies that come from association include Apollo, Zeus, and Thor, three mythical beings with legendary strength. You can also turn to Biblical boy names for a source of strength with names like David, Daniel, and Abraham all exerting courage and power within its texts. History also contains powerful figures that make for strong male names including Martin, Theodore, and Napoleon. When browsing through names, any name can be powerful with the right association. Your little one may inspire others someday with his strength as well.
50+ Strong Action Verbs You Need To Use On Your Resume Now
Writing a resume is more than just listing out your work experience, dates of employment, and job responsibilities. In fact, an effective resume is much, much more than that. Resume writing is an exercise in persuasive writing in order to market yourself to recruiters and potential employers.
So how can you make your resume stand out from the pack? An important step to help you improve your resume is to stop using passive voice and passive terms on your resume; passive terms dilute the quality and value of what you offer the employer. One of the biggest mistakes people make when writing a resume is using boring words that don’t actually tell an employer or hiring manager anything about what you have achieved, or what you are capable of accomplishing for them should you be hired.
Review your resume, and if you’re using any of the following terminology on your resume, you need to make a change today:
Demonstrated mastery of…Responsibility for…Duties included…Worked with…Familiar with…Knowledge of (or) Knowledgeable in…Qualifications include…Accomplishments include…
These are examples of passive terms that are not action-oriented, and they make for a rather lackluster resume. Instead, show the employer exactly what you’re capable of achieving and bringing to the table!
Now you’re probably wondering if those are bad terms, what are good, relevant, action words for a resume?
Below you’ll find a list of 50+ strong action verbs that you can put on your resume NOW to spice things up and stand out to employers!
Why These Are Some of the Best Resume WordsIncluded in the action verb list above are words that not only sound a little more polished than the old standbys of “qualified,” “proficient,” “experienced,” etc., but are words that push you to improve the entire phrase or sentence that you are using it in. For example, if you currently just have your skills listed under a section that says “Skills” and then list things like:
*Strong Leader *Problem-solving *Effective Communicator
…you’re not actually telling an employer why any of those things matter, or showing that you actually do have those skills and have accomplished something using those skills. Chances are an employer is also seeing these words listed under nearly every other applicant’s skill set section.
But, when you take action verbs from the list above and incorporate them into your Skills section, you automatically need to reshape the writing in a way that better provides insight into your unique achievements and your career history. For example, your Skills section may now read something like this:
*Fostering an environment for the optimal use of staff talents
*Devising efficient, practical solutions to problems large and small
*Conveying ideas to internal staff and external partners
See how those sound much more professional-and more worthwhile-than those buzzwords anyone can just copy off a list of resume skills you find on the internet?
When you take the time to incorporate action verbs as you write a resume, you will find that your writing on the whole transforms and forces you to dive a little deeper into what you are trying to tell hiring managers about yourself.
Why Does Word Choice Matter?We kind of delved into this a bit at the beginning of the article, but let’s go a little deeper-it matters because you don’t want to be just another resume and cover letter at the bottom of a recruiter’s pile. You want them to read your resume, pay attention to it, and go “Wow! This person has the experience and the skills we are looking for-and they sound motivated to work here!”
If you write a resume that just has the same old buzzwords as everyone else, it’s not actually saying anything. It’s not saying anything about your experience, and it’s not saying anything about what you can bring to an employer.
Your resume needs to SHOW what you are capable of. Word choice matters in doing this. Employers don’t want to just see soft skills listed because that’s what you think they want to hear-they want a demonstration of how you put those skills to use.
Action verbs do this. Passive buzzwords don’t.
STRONG action verbs do this well. Lazy action verbs don’t.
When you’re writing a resume, remember that a strong resume has strong words. Strong words often means verbs. Use the action verbs list above as a resource to find such words, and help you avoid weaker ones.
Here are some more examples of how word choice can make a difference in the marketing document that is your resume:
Current phrase: Manager of 10 employees
Improved phrase: Unified team of 10 employees behind company goals, resulting in improved sales
Current phrase: Switched company to using new technology
Improved phrase: Championed implementation of new technology at company, resulting in improved efficiency
Current phrase: Used data to discover underlying problem
Improved Phrase: Deciphered pattern in data to solve underlying problem
Doesn’t each of those changes convey a stronger role and a more impressive achievement? And, it does so without falling into the trap of writing your resume entirely using clichés.
If you’re starting a new resume from scratch, just start using these action verbs as you write! However, if you’re going through an old resume and trying to strengthen it by replacing words and phrases, STOP.
You cannot just take this action verbs list and swap out words on your resume. Instead, you need to use these to help reshape the entire way your resume is written. Your resume is a marketing document-do not forget that.
I recommend taking your old resume, pulling out the most important information on it, and making a list of hard skills, technical skills, accomplishments, responsibilities, etc. that you want to include on a new resume. Then, think about each item you have listed and how you want to convey it to a potential employer. Jot down one or two words from this list of action verbs beside each one that you think would be best suited for it.
From here, you now have a good base to reshape your writing. It might take a little longer than just getting out the thesaurus to replace words with a simple new word, but the results will be worth the time investment.
A professional resume needs to demonstrate your investment in the position and company you are applying to. Hiring managers can tell when someone has taken the time to really focus on their resume and to convey their value through the right words. They can also tell when someone has just taken a template and filled it out, or just googled “resume keywords” and plugged those words in.
The suggested resume action verbs in this article are developed from my years working in human resources and working as a professional resume writer, and includes some of the most effective words and phrases I have seen used and that I regularly use on resumes. Use them well, and you will likely start seeing a better response to your revitalized resume-perhaps even landing an interview for your dream job.
For even more examples of how to use strong language, peruse a sample resume or two on the Great Resumes Fast samples page.
Are you tired of your resume being rejected by applicant tracking systems? I know how frustrating it is to submit your resume and receive no response. I hate seeing qualified people never break through the screening process. It shouldn’t be that way. That’s why I created this guide and I encourage you to download the FREE PDF so you can start seeing better resume response rates!
