- As a verb, "describe" carries the action of the sentence. Practice it in three forms — a fact about yourself, a question, and a negative — for example, turn the example sentence above into your own situation.
- Common mistake
- Spell it d-e-s-c-r-i-b-e (noun: description). And 'describe something' — never 'describe about something'.
