ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

E-Prime

E-prime is a way of writing and speaking that doesn't use any forms of the verb "to be". This means that when you're using e-prime instead of saying "She is tired" you would say "She looks tired" or "She seems tired". It's a way of speaking that can help you be more aware of what your saying and make sure you're not speaking too vaguely.
