Other Introductory Commas:
If the sentence begins with a prepositional phrase (a phrase beginning with in, at, on, between, with, etc.), place a comma after the prepositional phrase if it is longer than three words or suggests a distinct pause before the main clause.
Run-on Sentences
Review each sentence to see whether it contains more than one independent clause. (See that each sentence has an independent clause; remember that a dependent clause cannot stand on its own.)
If there is more than one independent clause, check to make sure the clauses are separated by the appropriate punctuation.
Sometimes, it is just as effective (or even more so) to simply break the sentence into separate sentences instead of including punctuation to separate the clauses.
Example run-on: I have to write a research paper for my class about extreme sports all I know about the subject is that I'm interested in it.
Edited version: I have to write a research paper for my class about extreme sports, and all I know about the subject is that I'm interested in it.
Another option: I have to write a research paper for my class about extreme sports. All I know about the subject is that I'm interested in it.
Example: I would like to write my paper about basketball, it's a topic I can talk about at length.
Edited version: I would like to write my paper about basketball, because it's a topic I can talk about at length.
Edited version, using a semicolon: I would like to write my paper about basketball; it's a topic I can talk about at length.
Find the verb that goes with the subject.
The subject and verb should match in number, meaning that if the subject is plural, the verb should be as well and vice versa.
Example: Students at the university level usually is very busy.
Edited version: Students at the university level usually are very busy.
Mixed constructionRead through your sentences carefully to make sure that they do not start with one sentence structure and shift to another. A sentence that does this is called a mixed construction.
Example: Since I have a lot of work to do is why I can't go out tonight.
Edited version: Since I have a lot of work to do, I can't go out tonight.
ParallelismLook through your paper for series of items and make sure these items are in parallel form.
Example: Being a good friend involves good listening skills, to be considerate, and that you know how to have fun.
Edited version: Being a good friend involves knowing how to listen, being considerate, and having fun.
Examine your ParagraphsExamine the overall construction of your paragraphs, looking specifically at length, supporting sentence(s), and topic sentence. Individual paragraphs that are significantly lacking length or sufficient supporting information as well as those missing a topic sentence may be a sign of a premature or under-developed thought
Two Principles
1 Begin sentences with short, simple words and phrases that a) communicate information that appeared in previous sentences, or b) build on knowledge that you share with your reader. 2 In a paragraph, keep your topics short and reasonably consistent.3 Analysis
1.Read your underlined words. Is there a consistent series of related topics?
2.Will your reader see these connections among the topics?
3.Decide what you will focus on in each paragraph.
4.Imagine that the passage has a title. The words in the title should identify what should be the topics of most of the sentences.
4 Revision
1.In most sentences, make the topics the subject of verbs.
2.Put most of the subjects at the beginning of your sentences. Avoid hiding your topic by opening sentences with long introductory clauses or phrases. Do your sentences "hang together?"
1 Readers must feel that they move easily from one sentence to the next, that each sentence "coheres" with the one before and after it. (对于段内而言,要保持句子间的连贯性,要完美的过渡,不能跳跃太大或完全无规则,也就是说要有逻辑!!)
2 Readers must feel that sentences in a paragraph are not just individually clear, but are unified with each other.(对于段间想段内一样,要保持段与段的连贯性,还是说要有逻辑性!!)Does the sentence begin with information familiar to the reader?
Does the sentence end with interesting information the reader would not anticipate?
