✅ Incomplete describes something that doesn’t have all its elements or features (an incomplete set).
✅ Sketchy describes something that has only the major elements and is otherwise underdeveloped or insubstantial (a sketchy understanding of the topic).
✅ Incomplete and sketchy express similar ideas and both describe something that is lacking parts or elements.
✅ However, sketchy suggests that the main features are present but in a vague or undetailed way, while incomplete suggests that something is missing, even though what is present might be detailed and well-developed (Her testimony was sketchy and unhelpful; Her descriptions were clear, but her knowledge of the event was incomplete).
✅ Draft refers to a plan of something or sketch that will be refined later (I made a draft of the reply I wanted to send in an email).
✅ Outline refers to a sketch of the main features or elements of something (She had an outline of the day’s activities for the guests).
✅ Draft and outline both mean a rough idea of something.
✅ Draft suggests an initial form of an artistic composition with some but not all the necessary details. Outline suggests a written or spoken overview of the main features or ideas (I need a draft of the first chapter; I conveyed an outline of my ideas).
✅ Very means extremely or exceedingly (very happy; very unusual).
✅ Particularly means especially or to an exceptional degree (That was particularly insightful, thank you).
✅ Particularly emphasizes that something is done in an unusual way or to an unusual degree (He picked through the apples particularly carefully).
✅ Very can sometimes feel overused. Sometimes, you might want to use particularly instead. You also might want to pick a stronger adjective than very–for example, you might say delighted rather than very happy.
