Vocabulary 30 - More Words that Express Emotions

Manav’s brother beat him with a hockey stick. Manav got hurt and he yelped with pain.


These two examples depict two kinds of sensations. Lakshmi’s reaction to her failure in the English test was to get upset which will stay with her for some time and she may overcome her disappointment with a good performance in the next test.

Manav felt the physical pain of getting hurt and that pain vanished when his brother stopped hitting him.
