How to Avoid Writing a Sentence Fragment

posted by IloveMyLord

Using correct grammar and sentence structure is vital if آپ want to convey your thoughts accurately. آپ also want your writing to hold the reader's attention. Nothing is مزید annoying than reading a manuscript littered with grammatical errors. The error of writing sentence fragments is a common error. Sentence fragments are incomplete sentences that don't express a complete thought.

tips:
1

Have a subject for every verb. The subject is the actor in the sentence. The verb is the action taken in a sentence.

2

Make sure all of your dependent clauses have a completing thought. An independent clause contains a subject and verb and expresses a complete thought. A dependent clause may have a subject and verb, but it does not express a complete thought. Thus, dependent clauses need to be joined with an independent clause. Sentences that begin with after, when, because, before, since, etc., need a completing thought.

3

Proofread your writing. All writers benefit from proofreading. Make sure that each sentence makes sense when آپ read it back to yourself.

4

Read great literature. When آپ read great literature, آپ learn how master's of the craft write. Reading great literature also teaches آپ proper sentence structure and style. سے طرف کی knowing what good writing is, آپ will recognize the bad.

High Skool Rainbows:chapter 2-part one

Chapter 2:Getting to know him
Murphy
I spent break alone in the لائبریری tiring to find a book I've wanted to read for a while-Pride and Prejudice.
It would have been nice to spend break with Savannah,catching up what all happened during the summer,but she had to spend it with her مقبول friends. I never liked them and they have never been nice to me. I was always too shy and geeky, I guess.
Stacey was the head of the group,the team captain. I remember when I met her-in third grade. She pushed me down to get to the swings first on the playground. That doesn't matter anymore, except that she...

My Story : Human, chapter 1

posted by sweetpea92

    CHAPTER ONE
    Ugh. I groaned internally as I woke up. My head was pounding, and broken تصاویر were swirling around behind my eyelids. I had no idea where I was, یا how I had gotten here. I refused to open my eyes and find out, یا give any other sign that consciousness had found its way back to me again. Not knowing exactly where and when I was was a dangerous business for me. Very dangerous.
    You see, the last thing I remember before the blackness hit, is that I was running…
    My legs were on fire. They...

The last منٹ (prologue)

posted by nEvEr-tHe-sAme

The rain fell silently as I layed there waiting. Not like I had a choice though. But it had seemed مزید like a nightmare than reality. This wasn't how I imagined it... I never even got the chance to say goodbye. Let alone even explain what happened. I needed to wake up... from this nightmare, I tried, but never could... never did.

Life lesson: I learned that trusting people isn't what it actually seemed. There's مزید to it than آپ would ever imagine, I mean, it's not just trusting people, but it's who to trust. How can we tell? There might be some ways we think we can tell, but those ways......

It feels like a piercing physical wound; to see her leave me again.

I cannot access the part of me that handles realisation. Serena called her Ashleigh. That child in her arms. Is mine.

PREFACE

The woods were filled with silence and I looked around for any signs of the slayer. As I heard the leaves on the ground rustling, I turned around and there he appeared from the treetops of a nearby درخت and he gave me a sly smile which sent shivers down my spine before slowly approaching me and my دل was pounding inside my chest. I was vulnerable as there wasn’t anyone to protect me and I knew that I was going to die here, alone. Please let this be over fast, I thought to myself.
Every step that he took towards me was another step closer to death. His long, black hair was flowing...

Gods 2: Chapter 1: Palm Springs (Sorry I deleted the other copy)

posted by gossipgirlxoxo

There’s nothing better than a nice relaxing holiday; in the beach, city یا country to meet your tastes. I had only been in the famous Palm spring for two days. And to be honest I wanted to go home, Ethan wasn’t speaking to me. Thor and Liz were all over each other. Remember that guy I ran into in the cemetery, well he’s here and talking to me, against Ethan’s wishes of course. I sat there on the fresh green grass, no not playing golf but reading ‘All the pretty girls’ a book that I needed, a bloody disgusting book with no love what so ever. I closed the book and put my face in my...

Three Poems

These are for my dad who died almost exactly 12 years ago.
I don't know if it's any good.

Untitled

I’ve been at this point many times before.
One should think it might get better.
But now, as it’s almost exactly 12 years since
That special دن
I remember
Everything
As it would have been yesterday.
That I didn’t understand
That I didn’t want to understand.
That something faded away this day…
that it did not return
until now.
But it was not my hope
It’s still there, hidden in a small corner of my دل
Sometimes piping up
Just to abandon me again
But it didn’t leave me.
Yes…I still...

I walked over there my very first thoughts were Thor. But it wasn’t. I walked over there and saw Ethan I opened the window. He pushed his way passed me without saying a word; he lay on my بستر and started to breathe slowly. “What the...” I کہا looking at him but he didn’t even look back at me he just stayed there. I walked over and sat on the bed. “Well” I said. “Shh, I have a major headache” he کہا rubbing his temples. I smacked him on his chest and for a سیکنڈ I let it lie there and then he looked at me. “So what happened?” he کہا smiling a smug smile. “What do you...

Ode to Joy

Josie ran.

“Maybe I made a mistake thinking you’d understand!”

“Well maybe I made a mistake marrying you!”

She ran, not heeding the tempest that tore at her clothes nor caring where she fled to as long as it was someplace far from home. Away from the chaos of her fighting parents and the hopelessness of the choice she was faced with.

“A tumor?”

“...it’s pressing on your brain stem and growing very rapidly. If it isn’t taken care of soon, it will be life-threatening...the surgery, however, would cost آپ your hearing... Permanently...”

Her دل pounded in time with her feet;...

Don’t آپ understand

posted by blossomyumyum

You’re keeping me up at night as دن breaks
It’s all for you
Yeah that’s what آپ do, got me feeling so blue
When will آپ see
آپ have to let it be
When will آپ see just how much آپ really mean to me

Why is it just so hard to send that card
When do آپ think you’ll be able to understand
My love might be killing me

I hope آپ realize I’m just a fool
Damn! You’re so cool

When do آپ think you’ll understand
آپ drove me to a far off land
When will آپ see
I can’t just let it be
Come on try to set me free
When will آپ finally understand
I care about you
I’ll tell آپ that firsthand
آپ have my دل and my life
I hope soon I’ll get a chance to be your wife
I hope soon you’ll see, آپ mean the universe and the galaxy to me

Suicide Squad trailer review

posted by MovieReveiw

This is an opinion so if آپ don't like these logoff...now.
In my opinion the new Suicide Squad sucks. Harley Quinn is not even Harley Quinn any more, Deadshot has stupid movie lines, and no King Shark. WTF. I will explain this all for people who are not familier with The Suicide Squad.
Since the beginning of time Harley Quinn has had an accent and, guess what, no accent in the new Suicide Squad. And since when does Harley Quinn dress like a fucking slut.
Deadshot is normaly the main charecter in The Suicide Squad but now he has two stupid پچھواڑے, گدا lines, "So we are some kind of Suicide Squad?" Yes آپ are stupid it is the عنوان of your movie. "Let's go save the world." Fuck it I am done with Deadshot fully.
King شارک is, well, a giant شارک but now they have replaced him with a less cool Killer Crok.

Me & Writing

posted by Brittany6655

I really love to write.I've done it ever since I was only 4.
My mother used to write things like stories یا poems and letters.My mom inspired me to write things now.
Writing is really fun to do and I love it alot!Sometimes I write things like my mom did.

Whenever I feel mad I usually write things in the Write میل ای on the computer and write things that have been on my mind for a couple of days,then I erase them because I always feel better after I do that and I usually feel much calmer and I get it out of my system.

Since I really love writing so much I was thinking that maybe I could become an مصنف when I grow up. :)
I wouldn't just write poetry یا stories,I would also like to write مضامین for other people to read (just like I'm writing one right now).But of course I would write it on a piece of paper.I would also like to write new کتابیں for kids.

Again I really love to write and it's sort of special to me in my life.
