Answer
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 !
