Answer:

Has someone ever said something to you that rubbed you the wrong way? Meanwhile, they’re wondering why you’ve taken such offense to something they casually said. Well, words matter. Andthe words we choose in our everyday speech and writing is a reflection of our thoughts.

Connotation is an idea or feeling that a word evokes. If something has a positive connotation, it will evoke warm feelings. Meanwhile, something with a negative connotation will make someone feel less than pleasant. To call someone “verbose” when you want to say they’re a “great conversationalist” may not convey that. Your tone could imply they talk too much or that they’re lovely to be around. In the positive and negative connotation example sentences below, you’ll be able to take a look at both sides of the coin.
