some

synonyms

for some overused english words now before we start let me tell you something When we say overused words it is not necessarily a bad thing, it is okay to use these words, but if you want to improve

your

English, if you want to sound a little more sophisticated or if you want to add a little variety to

your

way of speaking, it is a very good idea to use some synonyms so let's start with word number one and that's good now you obviously know the meaning of good this book is good or was it a good movie now instead of good what other words can we use if something it's good? better than good, you can say it's great, great, the movie was great, if you like something, you can say it's nice, nice, today's weather is very nice, or if something is even better than great, you can say that He's excellent, excellent, he's an excellent dancer, you see?

Many of these synonyms are also very simple and maybe you knew the meaning of all these words, but the thing is that if you want to be able to use them while speaking, you have to convert these words from passive to active in your head. Converting passive

vocabulary

into active

vocabulary

will allow you to use your knowledge to use the number of words you know when you are speaking or when you are writing, that is, when you are producing something in English, but do you know how to convert passive vocabulary into active vocabulary? No, do not worry.

I made a video about this that has gone viral. I think it has 8 million views so far, that's crazy. Just click on the link above my head go to that video and then you can watch it after this lesson but first let's move on or I wanted to tell you something else look at these phrases he's a good guy instead of good I can say great he's a great guy I can say nice is a nice guy and I can say excellent is a great guy but out of these four sentences, which one do you think is the most

common

?

He's a good guy or he's a good guy. Saying he's a great guy is unnatural. What you can say is an excellent dancer or an excellent musician when talking about someone. skills, but if you say someone is excellent, that's fine, it makes sense and people will probably understand you, but the thing is that it's not really natural, it's more natural to say that he's good, that he's nice, that he's an excellent dancer, an excellent musician or an excellent teacher, so what am I trying to tell you? I'm trying to tell you that you can't just substitute a word with its synonyms.

You must be aware of the context of that sentence. Okay, for example, you can say that the program was good. You can say the program. It was great, you can say the show was great and you can also say the show was enjoyable. They all make perfect sense, so as you learn synonyms, also pay attention to the context of the sentence, we'll talk more about this in the rest of the video now let's move on to the second word, which is bad, now you know the meaning of bad , right, and you probably know the words I'm going to tell you later, but let's talk about them, it was a bad joke, it was a bad joke.

Instead of bad, what else can I say if it was very bad? I can say that it was a terrible joke or that the weather today is just terrible. If it's very, very bad, you can say it's terrible. The weather today is just terrible or it was a terrible mistake. or if it was very very very very bad you can say that it was horrible horrible it was a horrible experience bad bad horrible terrible horrible you see you are diversifying your vocabulary knowledge and that is very good now try to practice so that you can use them as you write and speak let's move on to the next word very well very is overused you see I said it is overused but instead of very what can I say well very is an adverb used to add emphasis to another adverb or an adjective for example intelligent very intelligent he is very intelligent instead of very what else can you say if it is very very you can say extremely for example she is extremely talented she is extremely talented you can also say incredibly he is incredibly talented or he is incredibly dedicated or you can say remarkably The sight was extraordinarily beautiful, very extremely , incredibly surprising, but again pay attention to the context of what you are trying to say, don't just substitute these words for others.

Number four is interesting, this video is very interesting, right? Instead of interesting what. If not, can you say um, fascinating?, which means very interesting, in my opinion, space exploration is fascinating, understanding that there may be another planet where other creatures live, that's fascinating, if something attracts and keeps your interest, It's fascinating, it's like a book or a movie that I can't stop watching or reading because it's very captivating the book was captivating I couldn't stop reading it or if it's charming and attractive you can say it's interesting yesterday's lecture was interesting interesting fascinating captivating attractive moving on to number five nice she has a nice smile instead of nice, what else can you say lovely, it's a beautiful day or this is a beautiful studio? you can say Charming, which means pleasantly attractive, has a charming personality or you can say charming, something that causes delight, joy or happiness, the work was charming cute charming Charming charming well, before we continue with this lesson, let's take a look at this paragraph that I provided, let's read it together last weekend.

I saw the movie, it was very interesting, the actors were very good, but the plot was a bit bad, the soundtrack, however, was very pleasant overall, it was a good experience, this is a very clear paragraph, you immediately understand what this paragraph is talking about, it is very clear, but we can improve it a little more, for example, instead of being very interesting, what else can be done? we say instead of very good or a little bad or very nice hm we can use some of the alternatives that we just learned well, let's do it in 3 2 1 now let's read this together last weekend I saw the movie, it was absolutely captivating for the actors .

They were excellent, although the plot was somewhat terrible, the soundtrack on the other hand was lovely, overall a great experience. You see, I'm basically using some synonyms for the words interesting, nice, good and bad, and this way, as you can see, The second paragraph now sounds a little better. Alright, let's move on to the rest of this lesson, but before we continue, let me tell you something. Do you want to have the summary of this lesson with all the words? There are synonyms.

You can say Happy, Happy, the news made her happy, it made her happy. made her happy you can also say euphoric euphoric which means extremely happy for example he was elated by success he was elated by success also pay attention to his preposition euphoric by or elated by something or you can say ecstatic ecstatic which means very very very happy she she was ecstatic about her new job very happy elated happy and ecstatic the next word is sad I feel sad today instead of sad you can say upset upset she was upset about the news she was upset about the news or you can say gloomy gloomy means very sad and without no hope she felt sad all day she felt sad why am I living or you can say heartbroken heartbroken she was heartbroken by the news she was heartbroken by the news so sad upset gloomy heartbroken the next word is big big it's a big house well no It is, but let's say now instead of big, you can say enormous, which means very big, they live in a huge mansion, they live in a huge mansion, you can say massive, who, that's a huge building or gigantic, gigantic, They saw a gigantic ship in the port it's big, huge, gigantic, now the opposite of big is small, for example, I live in a small studio, but instead of small, what else can you say?

You can say small, which is very small, she had a tiny ring if you were talking about a person specifically a woman who is thin and small you can say she is petite petite now pay attention this is only used to describe a woman's body and it means thin and attractive she has a small figure you can also use the word compact for example he drives a compact car perfect for the city so small, tiny, small and compact, now pay attention again. Context matters. You can tell this is a small studio. You can even say it's a small studio.

It's not small, but it is very. small you can say it is small but can you say this apartment is small? No because, like I said, pet is used for women now for a car, you can say small, sure, a small car, you can say compact, a compact car, but can you say small? well car, if you have a small toy, yes you can say it's a small car, but a real car can never be small, but it can be compact, it can be small, can it be small? No, because small is used for the human body, so again. don't just use one word instead of another even if they are synonyms always pay attention to the context and the last word we are going to talk about today is like but I don't like ice cream not this like it is how people often use it as a word of filler, this happens a lot in everyday conversations, for example, I was very tired, but the movie was very long, but my friend was very sad, this is used as a filler word to buy some time to think about what you want to say either look up the word or look up the grammar now instead of as a filler word, what else can you say?

Well, you can basically say, "The movie was a little long and people were." tired but again this doesn't sound very good do you know what the best alternative is? just say nothing the movie was long and my friend wasn't very happy don't say anything just stay silent but you know what i do often i tell you you know, for example, the movie was, you know, very long and my friend was, You know, a little sad, there are a lot of different filler words that people often use when they have a conversation, but I think the best one is to stay silent, my friend was. sad and now before we finish this lesson let's see a dialogue what a gloomy day yes, the weather is terrible today M I hate this small room, it makes me angry I wish I could buy a huge mansion and that's it guys, I hope you enjoyed it. this lesson, don't forget to like this video and if you are new to my channel, click subscribe, see you.
