How to write generous in cursive
- Start with the g (downcurve, undercurve, slant, loop, overcurve): the oval of an a followed by a descender loop that crosses back on the baseline.
- Swing up into the e (undercurve, loop, slant, undercurve): a small loop between the baseline and the midline.
- Swing up into the n (overcurve, slant, overcurve, slant, undercurve): two rounded humps made with overcurves.
- Swing up into the e (undercurve, loop, slant, undercurve): a small loop between the baseline and the midline.
- Swing up into the r (undercurve, slide right, slant, undercurve): an undercurve, a short slide to the right at the midline, then a slant down.
- Swing up into the o (downcurve, undercurve, checkstroke): a closed oval that ends with a checkstroke at the midline.
- From the checkstroke of the o, write the u (undercurve, slant, undercurve, slant, undercurve): two undercurves side by side, the opposite motion of the n.
- Swing up into the s (undercurve, curve down, undercurve): an undercurve to the midline, a curve back down that closes on the upstroke, then an undercurve out.

Generous questions
How many strokes does it take to write generous in cursive?
1 stroke: one continuous stroke for the letters. Inside a word the pencil stays on the paper; dots and crosses are added once the word is finished.
Which letters in generous are joined at the midline?
The o. This letter ends with a short bridge stroke at the midline, so the next letter starts from the top rather than from the baseline. That is what makes "generous" look different from a word with only baseline joins.
Is generous capitalized in cursive?
Only at the start of a sentence or in a title. In running text "generous" is written in lowercase, all letters joined. The capitalized form Generous is shown above for sentence openers and headings.
What is the hardest letter in generous?
The r and the s. r is the letter most adults get wrong. The slide right is tiny: think of a small step, not a hump. Cursive s is the most searched letter for a reason: it looks nothing like print. Write it as an upstroke with a little belly, not as a snake.
