Repeat the verb twice for story action

Did you have a go at last week’s action task for 11+ story writing?

Great!

Here’s another tip for further enhancing our action:  repetition of the verb

There are many ways to use repetition for effect. One of these is repeating the verb twice.

Skill: repeating the verb twice

Example 1: using AND

The thunder boomed AND boomed across the bloated, angry sky.

Example 2: using a COMMA:

The thunder boomed, boomed across the bloated, angry sky.

Challenge 

Use these verbs and settings to create DOUBLE VERB repetition. I’ve given you the verb and the setting, but you can choose the subject (i.e. wind / person, etc.,)

1. Verb to be repeated twice = ran
   Setting = forest or jungle
   
   (E.g., The wind ran and ran through the dead forest. / The wind ran, ran through the dead forest. )
   
2. Verb to be repeated twice = trundled
   Setting = beach or sea
   
3. Verb to be repeated twice = yelled
   Setting = school playground or town shopping centre

I hope you find this helpful to up-level your story action!
