Line 59: === Add a concrete example=== Many technical articles are not understandable (and confusing even to expert readers) only because they are abstract. A concrete example can help many readers to put the abstract content in context. Sometimes a contrasting example (counterexample) can also be helpful. For instance, from the article [[verb]]: :A '''verb'''~~, from the [[Latin]] {{lang\|la\|verbum}} meaning 'word',~~ is a [[word]] that conveys an action (''bring'', ''read'', ''walk'', ''run'', ''learn''), an occurrence (''happen'', ''become''), or a state of being (''be'', ''exist'', ''stand''). Examples must still meet the same requirement of [[WP:NOR\|no original research]] that other content is subject to.
