I need some help replacing the word "had" in some sentences of an essay I'm writing. "Some of the best moments we've spent together were the sleepovers we had." "We've had so many fun times together it's hard to pick a favorite." "The first time I had visited her house we were both shy." What words can I replace "had" with?
Omit "we had" from the first sentence.
We enjoyed can replace we've had.
Omit had in the third sentence.
Thank you!
You're welcome.
To replace the word "had" in your sentences, you can use various alternatives depending on the context and desired emphasis. Here are some options:
1. "Some of the best moments we've spent together were the sleepovers we experienced."
2. "We've shared so many fun times together it's hard to pick a favorite."
3. "The first time I visited her house, we were both shy."
In general, when looking for replacements, try to use more descriptive verbs that provide more specific meaning to the sentence. Consider the action or emotion associated with the situation.
