    so in english we have a program that analyzes our writing. it tells us at what level we are writing at and other stuff like the percentage of “to be” verbs we used. I write at an 11 grade level. and my rough draft has 40 “to be” verbs in it. roughly 39% of my verb usage. im only allowed to have less than 20%. sometimes it is really hard to replace those verbs.
