When you are writing a new entry for your blog '''Concrete Language''' will help to make your writing more real to your readers. '''Concrete Language''' names or describes the perceptible and material world; it appeals to or engages the senses. Many concrete words or phrases can be defined by touching, pointing, or acting: sofa, star, swim in the river.
We should "stick as much as possible to simple language that’s easy to visualize—concrete verbs like ‘write’ or ‘walk’ beat ambiguous ones like ‘benefit’ and ‘improve’—and avoid the passive tense."
Objects help us to concretize abstract ideas.
