Grammar fix
verbal communication
communication by speaking
The act of sharing information or ideas by speaking, rather than writing or using gestures.
Hear it in context
Notice where the phrase sounds natural.
Good verbal communication is important when working in a team.
In my opinion, verbal communication skills are essential for success in most jobs, because they help people share ideas and solve problems together.
Fix the pattern
One small grammar move makes it sound right.
Not: Verbal communication means writing clearly.
Say: Verbal communication means speaking clearly.
In this pairing 'verbal' = spoken, the opposite of 'written'.
Which sounds natural?
Tap the one a native speaker would say.
In everyday speech people say 'talking to people'; 'oral transmission of ideas' is absurd.
Build natural chunks
Words that usually travel with it.
