Verbs Means Expressions

 16 August

Mostly in schools unfortunately memorizing gets more importance and students completely ignore learning through own efforts. The syllabus also is heavy thus not much quality time is left to explore their own potentials, then how one would have confidence to apply knowledge practically? In this blog I would like to teach some basic easy things to make my learners confident in expressing their ideas. The very essential thing is to frame sentence accurately and use verbs to help in proper expressions. Here we would see some very frequently used verbs.

Verbs have capturing effects if used appropriately according to the context. For example we would take the verb Think.

Think, Ponder, Reflect, Consider, Brood all have though similar meanings yet create a lasting impact on mind when used accurately.

Think is used generally.
Think before doing anything well.
Consider is used when we need to pay attention for the second time.
I hope you would consider my petition.
Ponder is used when we need to think deep especially before deciding anything.
He pondered nearly over a few hours before finally accepting the proposal.
Reflect is used when we have to think deep and with a seriousness.
His face was serious due to the situation, all the members learnt to reflect from this incident.
Brood is used when we think in a sad manner.
She could not stop brooding over her husband demise even after months.

Everywhere a different situation is demanding a suitable expression thus the use of synonyms is very important. Also to make communication effective the knowledge of good verbs has it's own impact on the listeners. It makes communication lively and creates a good impression.
