Creation – B1–C1
This 44-word deck covers the richest, B1-C1 level of creation verbs in English: from writing and visual art (sketch, illustrate, portray, depict, rhyme, verse) through manufacturing and execution (manufacture, assemble, execute, undertake) to abstract, idea-shaping words (conceive, formulate, innovate, pioneer, elaborate). You'll learn how to say that something inspires, evokes or conjures up a feeling (evoke, invoke, conjure, arouse), and how to talk about the finer details of how a picture, poem or product comes together (adorn, decorate, indent, tailor). This deck is for learners past the everyday basics who want precise, nuanced vocabulary for describing creative and professional processes.
