3. In the distance, a 100-pound sailfish erupts from the water.

4. Jenny Millhouse owns two gas stations in Florida City.

5. The sugar cane refinery drives employment in south central Florida.

6. James Archer conducts the survey and reports the results to the school administration.

Strong verbs help make our writing more direct, concise, and descriptive.

To change most of the verbs in the sentences above, all we have to do is look for the verb "to be" and see what word accompanies it.

Then, we substitute the verb "to be" and that word by an equivalent verb, which will make it stronger.

For example:

In other cases, the verb "to be" will not be present, but the verb is still considered weak.

Take sentence 8 as an example. The use of "has" is not as strong as "owns".
