Sentence Structure Simple declarative sentences are good. Flowery, literary language is not good. Goal: Simple descriptions of complex ideas. Avoid long, involuted sentences. You are not James Joyce. Use “;” | “, and” | “, or” sparingly to glue successive sentences together. Make parallel clauses parallel in syntax. Bad: “… whether the name should be of fixed length or whether it is variable length”. |
