And you do that with the whole sentence.
Then you take those detailed sections and do the same thing: get more specific, pay particular attention to how actions and mannerisms of your characters reflect their 'inner thoughts'. if he's "angry" how is he angry, does he bang his fist on the table, or does he make snide passive aggressive comments, is he too much of a pussy to express his anger? Details anon. details of actions and manners.
