Getting Specific: The Power of Descriptions
IN THIS CHAPTER
Making comparisons with adjectives and adverbs
Examining longer descriptions
Placing descriptions accurately
With the right nouns (names of persons, places, things, or ideas) and verbs (action or being words), you can build a pretty solid foundation in a sentence. The key to expressing your precise thoughts, though, is to build on that foundation by adding descriptions. In Chapter 6, I go over the most basic descriptors â single-word adjectives and adverbs. In this chapter, I tackle comparisons and other, longer descriptive elements, explaining what they are and how to put them in their proper place.
