I feel like you should use common nouns which refer to a certain place,object (phone) or a person
You could also use concrete nouns things which physically effect you for instance our senses (see,touch,taste,hear,smell)
Verbs I would say to use would be descriptive verbs (adjectives) to make your story more interesting and overall a better story. To answer you question specially I would say use long verbs like adjectives in a list describing someone/something. I hope this helped you !
