How to study this deck
This deck gives you more precise words to describe what you feel: instead of "very happy" you can say elated or overjoyed. Study them by family: joy (elated, ecstatic), sadness (dejected, despondent) and anger (livid, enraged). They help you write better and understand books and shows with richer vocabulary.
The trickiest words
- livid: it means extremely angry. It can also mean pale, but the emotion sense is more common.
- distraught: it means deeply upset, from bad news or a loss.
- jubilant: it means joyful, especially after a victory.
