About this deck
Strong writing runs on strong verbs. This deck replaces make/do/get with the precise alternative — forge, conduct, obtain — each shown in a sentence where it earns its keep.
Every card pairs the verb with its natural collocations, because knowing 'conduct' is only useful once you know you conduct an interview, not a meeting with friends.
