Effective and grammatically correct sentences are the building blocks of any successful writing project. Without clear, grammatically correct sentences, it is unlikely a writing project in any genre will be successful.
Using good grammar is key to your success as a writer, student, and professional. While writing, we may find that we need to review some of the key concepts of good sentence structure, and there are several resources here to help you do so. Keep in mind the following:
- Sentences in English must include a subject and a verb to be a complete sentence.
- We should vary the type of sentences we use in our written texts. This includes using simple, compound, and complex sentences, and more. You can review different types of sentence structures below.
- Avoid using sentence fragments and run-on sentences.
- Be sure your sentence expresses a complete thought that will be clear to readers.
