Hi All,



Sorry if this is not the right place for asking this, I'm new to this site.



I have been searching now for a long time for somewhere to learn how to very accurately use words in my writings. For exmple the differences between a shriek or a holler or a scream and many words like this.  I want to know where exactly we use each of them.Can anyone please help me? or introduce a source relating to this topic?

Hi Diva,  Welcome to English Forums.  Thanks for joining us.

That' a tough one.  I don't know of any formula.  It's a labor of love.  Maybe watching a lot of old movies would help you to associate the right situation with the right word.  Write for fun, and keep a thesaurus handy to jog your memory.

Best wishes,  - A.

Thanks for the response dear friend.



Maybe it's better to add I'm not a native english speaker.
