How I Use Grammar

Today, I evaluated the longest paragraph of my QRG draft. I noticed that in this paragraph, and in general, I tend to complicate sentences. By identifying basic grammar patterns in my text, I can clearly see the changes I need to make. Most of my sentences are chimeras of the five sentence patterns. This means that I need to simplify many of my sentences to follow the general patterns. This will make them far easier for readers to follow and understand. I also tend to have very few simple sentences; most of my sentences are compound, complex, or compound-complex. Overall, this exercise has shown me that I need to simplify my grammar use.
