very

When editing your writing, check for all occurrences of very. Delete all that are unnecessary. Example:
  • The field was very wet. It was rain-soaked and unplayable.

In this particular example, you could keep the very or delete it. The main thing is to make sure the adjectives you use are truly descriptive and meaningful.
