A "moving" story is one that makes you feel strong emotions. The emotions that are associated with feeling "moved" are:

• sadness
• hope
• joy
• nostalgia
• gratitude (being thankful)

Another way to describe it is that a "moving" story, photograph, song, or movie makes you feel empathetic to other people's feelings. It makes you imagine other people's pain, happiness, and dreams.

Use "moving" in these forms:

• (something) is so moving

  What did you think of it? I thought it was so moving!

• a moving (something)

  "Adagio for Strings" is such a moving piece of music.

• (someone) is (adverb) moved by (something)

  I'm deeply moved by your generosity.
