word choice: shook or trembled
Posted: Mon Feb 20, 2023 8:02 am
I have made up the sentences below.
(1) It was minus twenty degrees Celsius for six days. When I walked around outside, I shook very badly.
(2) It was minus twenty degrees Celsius for six days. When I walked around outside, I trembled very badly.
Most of my non-native English speaking friends think "trembled" is wrong and "shook" is the better choice.
I am not sure if they are correct. Please help me. Thank you very much.
