Good writing uses a variety of vocabulary items. These words do not need to be "big" or "fancy". They need to be effective.
To have a broader range of effective English vocabulary, consider using compounds with simple, everyday words to create new, impactful words. One way to do this is by creating compounds:
Overbearing (adj.)
Dominant/domineering, arrogant, aggressive
Ex. An overbearing parent can greatly impact his/her child’s development if that child is in constant a state of fear.
Divorces are often attributed to the overbearing character of at least one spouse.
Try using this word in your own sentence. Be sure to read others' samples and comment on them.
