Expand Vocabulary for Writing: 50 Overused Words and What to Say Instead will help you master many other ways to say overused words, such as big, easy, sad, think, and walk, so that your writing can be more exciting and colorful.

Under each of these words (25 adjectives and 25 verbs), there is a list of more vivid ways to say the word, with a definition and an example sentence to demonstrate the usage of the word in a context. Part Three contains 23 worksheets of different types of practice to help you memorize meanings of those vivid words and know how to use them.
