Now, let us look at the term ‘theory’. we often say, ‘literary theory’, Modernism, Postmodernism, etc. before going into these theories, we should understand what the word, ‘theory’ means:
A theory is a guess. It is a person’s belief, or understanding about something. for example, I believe that Life is all for enjoyment. So, we should forget our sorrows and always be happy, and go in search of happiness. This is my belief, and this is my theory about life. When it comes to money, I believe that money should be earned and should be spent. we should not save money. this is my belief and it is my theory on money. like this, I can have a theory on health, theory on food, theory on pets, etc.
Well, here is another example. if you ask me, ‘Why do birds fly?’ I will say that they fly because they should cross rivers and seas. This is my guess, and it is my theory on flying birds. If you are still not clear, ask me to explain more.

Now let us see some of the words that can be used along with theory when we write, or speak:
1. Complex theory – theory which is difficult to understand
2. Comprehensive theory – complete theory that covers all arguments
3. Controversial theory – that which can create problems because people will not agree to it, or it will hurt people’s sentiments.
4. Elegant theory – beautiful to read
5. Empirical theory – theory that comes out of experiment
6. Grand theory – big theory
7. Ground-breaking theory – it is so new and people had never thought of it before, and which can lead to many advancements
8. Innovative theory – new theory formed from old theory
9. Modern theory – [you know]
10. Provocative theory – which pushes people to argue
11. Radical theory – that is opposite to all rules and beliefs.
12. Revolutionary theory – that can bring a whole change
13. Simple theory – [you know]
14. Sophisticated theory – refined from old theory
15. Unproven theory – [you know]
16. Valid theory – [you know]
Now verbs that can be used with the word ‘theory’!
We develop a theory, or construct a theory, or frame a theory, or formulate a theory.
We offer a theory for people to consider: we advance a theory, or outline a theory, or propose, or propound, or put forward, or put forth a theory, or present a theory.
we support a theory, or advocate a theory, or expound a theory.

Note: Scientific theory has to be proven to become a theory. for example: Charles Darwin guest, and later believed that Man came out of monkeys. if it is not proven, then it will only be a guess, and they will not accept it in science. But general population can believe it. for example, Isha Yoga has the theory of Aadhiyogi. They believe that the first man was aadhiyogi. it is not scientifically proven so it is not accepted in science, but still people believe it as a theory. Whereas Darwin’s theory is proved, so it is a scientific theory.
