What are words to use instead of 'are'?
There are not a lot of words to use instead of are, except other forms of "to be"--is, was, were. Normally you have to rewrite the sentence to find a more active verb. For example, my answer could be rewritten like this: Very few words exist that can replace are. Now the verbs in the sentence are "exist" and "replace."
