I can improve a letter which recounts an imagined experience from the British home front during World War One by paying close attention to my choice of verbs and adjectives.

Writers spend as long choosing deliberate verbs and precise adjectives as they do on other methods. Verbs tell us how an action is done, and so can give an insight into character, atmosphere and tone. Adjectives describe nouns and also impact tone.
