  • List of Descriptive Words: Adjectives, Adverbs, & Participles

    Descriptive words help paint a picture in the reader's mind. They can be adjectives, adverbs, or participles that describe the subjects or actions of your sentence.

    Using descriptive words can bring characters to life in a novel or short story, sell an item in a product advertisement, convince an audience in a persuasive writing piece, explain the setting of a news story, or provide instructions for a DIY project. Using illustrative descriptors makes your writing impossible to put down because your sentences are more vivid.

    For example, the sentence "It was windy," might give the reader information, but it's not very descriptive. Instead, you could use descriptive words like: 

    • gusty
    • torrential
    • breezy
    • windswept
