Did you know?

Is impact a verb?

You may occasionally run into claims that impact is not a verb, or that it is somehow ill-suited to a role in this part of speech. Not only is that not the case, but the verb form of impact is much older than the noun form. It is possible that the word started attracting more displeasure when it began being widely used in a figurative sense as a transitive verb ("we expect the recession to impact the company"). The word is certainly a verb, although before using it in this manner in writing it is worth considering your audience, and whether members of it are likely to consider this use problematic.

Choose the Right Synonym for impact

impact, collision, shock, concussion mean a forceful, even violent contact between two or more things.

collision implies the coming together of two or more things with such force that both or all are damaged or their progress is severely impeded.

shock often denotes the effect produced by a collision and carries the suggestion of something that strikes or hits with force.

concussion when not in technical use, often suggests the shattering, disrupting, or weakening effects of a collision, explosion, or blow.
