Filler words such as uh or like are words, sounds, or phrases we use to “fill in” the space when we don't know what to say. Although more common in speech, filler words also exist in writing as “extra” words that don't add any new information.
We've all been there – staring at a blank page, wondering what to say next. Sometimes, all it takes is a little bit of inspiration to get the words flowing again. Other times, we might need to rely on a few "filler" words to help us along.
Filler words are those little words that we use to help us connect our thoughts and ideas. They're not necessarily bad words, but they can often be overused or used in the wrong context. When used correctly, however, filler words can help us to express ourselves more clearly.
So, if you're stuck on what to say or write next, try using one of these filler words:
- firstly
- secondly
- thirdly
- finally
- moreover
- furthermore
- in addition
- likewise
- similarly
- nevertheless
- nonetheless
- conversely
- alternatively
- on the other hand
With a little practice, you'll be able to use these words to express your thoughts and ideas more clearly. Just remember to use them sparingly, and in the right context, or you might end up sounding like a broken record!
