How to Write a Sentence Without Adverbs
The Thinking in English Conversation Club is exclusively available to Patreon subscribers. Try asking yourself some questions while writing to help decide if a word is essential. If you cut the word, does the meaning change? If you keep the word, will your message be less powerful? What does the word add to yourself, add to your sentence? Asking these questions can help you decide whether to keep it or get rid of it. Sometimes an adverb can have an important contribution to a sentence. Cut out descriptive sentences and try rewriting sentences instead of using adverbs.
