Improve English & sound polished by replacing ‘very’

An average person is estimated to know only about 6-12% of the entire vocabulary of words in the English language! What is even more surprising is that we don’t even use a lot of the words that we know. More often than not, we tend to use qualifiers such as “very” and “more” with other words to describe things that could have been better described using other words – very tired instead of exhausted, very happy instead of elated, very fast instead of quick.

Here we present 10 simple words that you should use instead of using the qualifier “very”.
