Answer:

There are a bunch of ways you can make an essay longer!

Step-by-step explanation:

This really depends on what kind of essay you are writing.

Here are some ways I know-

1. Use longer words:

Instead of using plain adjectives or verbs, use the synonyms of them

Hard - Difficult
Tired - Exhausted - drained
Happy - Overjoyed - excited - Thrilled
Etc- You can learn these words by reading books and such, or just flipping through a dictionary.

2. Making examples/ finding ways to add more

If whatever you're writing about needs some examples- try to find some that require a long explanation- but not too long as you may get off track or lose the reader completely.

Ex: The importance of machinery
Talk about the benefits of the advancing machinery- and how it has made your life (helped) you in various different ways.

- Provides jobs
- Creates new ways to have fun
- Saves time
-etc

Different pieces of information can be stretched out to create a longer essay, as long as it is relevant to the topic, it's fine to write as much as you want!

That's- all I know lol.

It's really about details if you ask me, have a good vocabulary and be able to explain things longer, without straying from the topic
