Day 183: Revise -ing verbs to simple present or past tense verbs.
Words that end in -ing reduce the impact and directness of your writing. Instead of describing a specific action occurring at a specific time, they describe an on-going action. This is hard for the reader to visualize. Furthermore, they generally require the use of the verb to be, such as is and was. As such, you need extra words in the sentence and you de-emphasize the action. Consider this sentence.
“The corporation was running a deficit in 2008.”To revise this sentence, we want to change the “was running” to the simple past tense ran. This gives us
“The corporation ran a deficit in 2008.”Now the sentence describes the action directly and removes the emphasis on “was.”
