Key ideas in Clear Writing for Real Life
- A sentence is incomplete if it only names a person/thing without an action
- Starting with the 'who' (Subject) provides an immediate anchor for the reader
- The 'do' (verb) is the engine that makes the 'who' (subject) move
- Placing the action (Verb) directly after the subject prevents confusion
- Dyslexic writers can use this 'Who + Do' check to verify a sentence is finished
- The 'Object' receives the action and completes the thought
- Identifying the essential 'who' and 'do' components in a sentence
- Applying the Subject-Verb-Object pattern to create a clear thought
- Short sentences reduce visual noise
- A fragment is a broken sentence
- Identifying the essential who and do components
- A short sentence delivers one clear idea
- Descriptive words do not count as an action
- Applying the Subject-Verb-Object pattern
- Confidence comes from clarity
- A run-on happens when two 'Who + Do' pairs are squashed together
