Many of these substitutions come in especially handy when it comes to finding one word to take the place of look-plus-adverb or look-plus-adjective-and-noun, as the definitions demonstrate.ġ. You seem to be treating it as a noun, but it is usually an adjective or adverb (as noted above, 'little' typically means 'small' or 'limited').Look, it’s perfectly acceptable to use the verb look, but don’t hesitate to replace this fairly ordinary-looking word with one of its many more photogenic synonyms. And I'm afraid I don't understand how you are using 'little'. I'd suggest checking a thesaurus in cases like that, if you haven't already (e.g. With 'small', in that context, you could use a range of synonyms, including 'little', 'tiny', 'petite', 'cramped' or 'limited in size'. It may be, then, that if you're using this word a lot, you should look closely at how your sentences are phrased for concision and verb tense issues. A corrected version of your example, for instance, could read: 'He'd be lying if he said he didn't have fun like he did before recent events, which had left him paranoid.' I've revised this sentence to fix some of the inconsistent tenses, which has the added bonus of removing 'been'. With 'been', I suspect the issue is sentence construction. And, more generally, it sounds like you might benefit from having your documents proofread: If you need more help, you'll need to be more specific about what you're trying to say. My suggestion here, then, would be to think about what you're describing as a 'thing' and then use those terms instead. E.g., if the 'thing' is inanimate, you might say 'object', but you wouldn't use 'object' to describe an animal or plant (i.e. And while you would not want to overuse this term, the best replacement would depend entirely on what it is you're describing as a 'thing'. 'What is that thing in the corner?' or 'Where is that birthday thing we're going to at the weekend?'). 2) 'Thing' is a word you use when you can't (or don't need to) name something (e.g. If so, any replacement for these terms would depend on the sentence they're used in, so I can't suggest anything without knowing more, but you don't usually need to worry about repeating short terms like these anyway. Responses follow: 1) By 'thats', I assume you mean a contraction of 'that is' (please make sure to include an apostrophe if you're using a contraction, as otherwise it will look like a spelling error). But if you’d like a second opinion on that, and help with varying your vocabulary, why not give our proofreading services a try? and, but, so).Īs such, you don’t have to worry about repetition unless its affecting the flow of your writing. And any document will use certain common words repeatedly, such as articles (e.g. With technical terminology, for instance, you should always try to be consistent. We’ve focused on varying your language here, but some repetition is inevitable. By doing this, we can also make our writing more concise:īy dropping ‘there are’, we therefore make a more impactful statement. In standard sentences, however, the verb should come after the subject. The subject above is ‘we’, while the main verb is ‘are’. There are many problems we may encounter. In this type of sentence, the subject comes after the verb.
#WHAT IS ANOTHER WORD FOR THINGS OR STUFF FULL#
These phrases are often used to start sentences, something known as an ‘expletive construction’ (and not because they’re full of swear words). Finally, we have ‘there is’, ‘there are’ and ‘it is’.
