Hi, and welcome to strategy three, limit use of passive verbs. This is very similar to an adding on to what we were talking about in technique two, which was to prefer action verbs. And so along with preferring action verbs, of course, you want to limit your use of passive verbs and passive constructions, all of these three really interconnect and overlap, like, what I was talking about earlier how a lot of these strategies and techniques will overlap. So some of them seem a little redundant, each one does or says something different, but it may also cover some of the strategies or techniques and some of the other sections. So, strategies, here are the techniques here do overlap a little bit and technique three states limit use of passive verbs and the explanation is, this is an extension of technique to passive verbs dilute meaning and encumber flow.

Use be verbs and forms of Have go in get in other similar verbs sparingly, use them sparingly. Once again, it's not an absolute, you can use words like have got go be get, and in some cases, they may be the best or only verb for the job. But in most cases, you can use a stronger, more precise, more action oriented and more descriptive and clarifying verb. An example, Mark had to go get milk from the store, that's wordy, it's vague, it's watered down. This is better Mark purchase milk from the store. It's activated, it's action oriented and the verb is more descriptive and precise.

And so it's a much stronger example. So the last technique in strategy two is just to remember to limit use of passive verbs. And so all of this comes together by combining these three techniques often into one sentence or one strategy. So keep in mind that all of them These do overlap and in some cases they can even be the same situation. And so just remember for strategy to, to prefer action verbs eliminate passive verbs and to use active voice and that will help you to strengthen your sentences, strengthen the structure of your sentences and to clarify the meaning of your sentences.
