The Importance of Active Verbs in Writing

"There's no getting around them and sometimes but they should be avoided," he says of linking verbs. "If you use greatly effect try to be specific about what's going on rather than just leaving it as greatly effect tell us what's happening um so here we go uh when once people said George drives well George drives a bus we now say George is a good driver George is a bus driver an action verb drive has dwindled into a noun left the field to be linked to the linking verb."
