feel

8/7/2020

Be careful with feel: it can be indefinite and make you look weak. Using the verb means to have a belief or impression, especially without an identifiable reason.

Eliminate and show your enthusiasm:

  • Let’s work together more often. You have such brilliant ideas! [much stronger]

However, using the gerund form indicates one speaks from experience:

  • I’m feeling confident about that meeting this morning, especially after the comments on the waterfront project.
  • I have a feeling it’s all just to scare us into lowering our prices.
  • It’s my feeling that using these pictures would create a better impression.
Our online courses and modules are designed with you in mind:

  • flexible: you have busy lives, so our courses fit your schedule
  • practical: we use everyday examples and situations to help you understand
  • practice: there is only one way to improve; mistakes are there to help us learn
  • support: a personal mentor works with you
