Use the adverb verily when you need an old-fashioned way to say "certainly." For example, you might say, "I verily believe that's the ugliest sweater I've ever seen."

You can use the word verily to mean "truthfully," although people may not know what you're talking about, since it's mostly found in very old-fashioned writing, from the Bible to Shakespeare. In fact, Shakespeare is probably the writer most associated with the word verily: "Verily, I swear, 'tis better to be lowly born," he writes. The root is Middle English combination of very and ly.

1. Truth must you tell, he says, for truth is God, and verily, it is the only God I know.
2. Verily, there must be a special place for me.
3. I verily think so.
4. I do verily believe it.

gurgle

To gurgle is to make a sound like bubbling or splashing water.

Your stomach might gurgle, especially when you're hungry. And liquid itself gurgles, like a stream that gurgles over rocks or sweet iced tea that gurgles from a bottle into your glass.

1. The baby gurgled with satisfaction when the mother tickled it.
2. The fountain flows with a merry gurgle.

burst

A burst is a sudden flurry of activity.

As a verb, burst is your go-to action word to describe something sudden and energetic happening. It usually means, "to explode outward, with noise" like if you burst into song in the middle of study hall, startling everyone. It also means, “to split open in a violent way due to internal pressure” like an overfilled water balloon. It comes from an Old English word, meaning "break suddenly."

1. He burst into tears.
2. I burst out laughing.
3. The water pipe burst.
4. My stomach is so full, it feels as if it is about to burst.

candid

Straightforward and truthful talk might be described with the adjective candid. If you're always candid, your parents will know that they can trust you.

A serious-minded politician might suggest engaging in a "candid discussion" about a complicated topic like health care or the environment, because candid means "open" or "frank." There used to be a TV show named Candid Camera. It was called that because its hidden cameras supposedly showed a candid view of reality. In photography, candid has become a noun meaning "an unposed photo." The word comes from Latin candidus, meaning "white," which was later extended to mean "pure." Candid talk provides the pure, unvarnished truth.

1. Because the politician made a candid speech, he earned the respect of the voters.
2. If I am to be candid, I must admit I am very unhappy with this situation.

A Happy Child

My house is red - a little house;
A happy child am I.
I laugh and play the whole day long,
I hardly ever cry.

I have a tree, a green, green tree,
To shade me from the sun;
And under it I often sit,
When all my play is done.

Emotional Contentment

Parents consider their duties towards their children are only to feed, clothe and groom them. And to help them with their education. However, all creatures in this world demand some emotional contentment to thrive and grow healthily and intelligently. Man, the most sensitive animal in the Universe, needs a great deal of personal attention, especially in his early years.

If we talk about creative writing in English, one of the most valuable writers for me is William Shakespeare with his sonnet 18 and some other awesome poetry plays and poems. I like how he describes feelings of his characters in every sonnet, in every line of it. There are not so many alternatives that can replace him.

If someone is fretful, they behave in a way that shows that they are worried or unhappy about something.


Someone who's fretful can't relax.


You may be fretful because you're worried about a friend, you're waiting for news, you're incredibly irritated with your little brother, or simply because you're an anxious and restless person.
