E-Prime consists of a paraphrase in which we have endeavored to replace all to be verbs (is,

are were, was, etc.) with concrete active verbs, eliminating the is of identity (instead of John

is a teacher, we se John teaches. ), the is of predication (instead of !he apple is sweet,

we se !he apple tastes sweet.), as well as the passive voice and phantom sb"ects (instead of

#lessed is the man, we se $od blesses the man. ). #y performing these lingistic

procedres, we have hoped to create a crisp, direct, and spar%ling docment.
