Hi, I have a list of words that are synonyms of the word INTERESTING. What are their differences in meaning? Having tried on my own, I am not very satisfied with my answers. Here is my work (for some of them I just copied the definition from online dictionary):
1.fascinating: something/person strongly attracts attention; capturing interest as if by a spell
2. curious: mysterious things that making people want to explore
3. exciting: stimulate nerves so that one can be very hyped about something; always accompanied by raising voice when talking things that excite them
4. noteworthy: more formal; sometimes means important/significant
5. motivating: To cause to be enthusiastic
6. appealing: (how is it different from fascinating? Fits better for a more formal context maybe?)
7. remarkable: impressive
8. stimulating: inspiring new ideas; causing/motivating people to take action
9. attention-grabbing: describing a topic or something but never for describing a person?
10. Attractive: pleasing to the eye or mind especially through beauty or charm; usually for describing a person.
If anyone can show me some sentences as examples I'd be grateful.
