Exciting New Adjectives
Exciting New Adjectives
Hello!
This is Teacher Ben at E52 with some tips for expanding your vocabulary.
Repeating the same stale and boring adjectives can get pretty old after a while. Here are some new words you can use as replacements to help you spice up your sentences with descriptions that are a little more interesting – or should I say descriptions that are a little more engaging, engrossing, and compelling?
1. Good
People get tired of hearing something is “good” – try these adjectives on for size:
Outstanding, fabulous, amazing, spectacular, superior, excellent, superb, magnificent, marvelous, exceptional, wonderful, terrific, tremendous, awesome, top-notch, brilliant, splendid, fantastic
2. Bad
Instead of “bad”, say:
Terrible, horrible, horrendous, substandard, inadequate, unsatisfactory, defective, shoddy
3. Delicious
Impress your friends next time you go out to eat with the following descriptors:
Scrumptious, delectable, palatable, flavorful, succulent, appetizing, mouth-watering
4. Boring
Saying “boring” is boring – try these words out instead to describe how you feel:
Tedious, dull, monotonous, repetitious, unvaried, uneventful, uninspiring, sterile, flat, bland
5. Cute
There are other ways of complimenting someone or something:
Endearing, adorable, lovable, sweet, lovely, appealing, delightful, dear, darling, charming, enchanting
6. Hot
It’s hot outside, but what else is it?
Balmy, boiling, scorching, roasting, searing, flaming, blistering, sweltering, torrid, sultry, humid, muggy
7. Cold
Instead of simply saying “It’s cold”, try one of the following:
Chilly, cool, freezing, icy, snowy, crisp, frosty, wintry, frigid, bitter, biting, piercing, numbing, glacial
8. Wet
Instead of just saying something is wet, try to be more specific:
Damp, moist, soaked, drenched, saturated, sopping, dripping, soggy, waterlogged
9. Spicy
These chicken wings are spicy, but how spicy are they?
Tangy, peppery, piquant, zesty, fiery, biting
10. Interesting
Try to be more interesting when you’re describing something interesting:
Absorbing, fascinating, gripping, riveting, enthralling, entrancing, spellbinding, captivating
Feel free to write other adjectives you like to use below!
