Today, I am going to teach you what are some overused words in English and what are the alternatives that you can use to sound more like a native speaker. (1) LIKE. I’m not talking about the filler word “like,” as in, “I want, like, go skating.” I’m talking about the verb, ’like’. You can use ’admire’, ’adore’, ’cherish’, ’fancy’ instead. (2) IMPORTANT. If you want to identify some detail or idea as important, alternate possibilities you might use incorporate ‘significant’, ‘vital’, ‘critical’, ‘imperative’ and ‘essential’. (3) NEW. This word is used over and over again in English. For example, you can replace it with ’updated’ or ’modern’. (4) REALLY.
