Style - write a Detail Sentence

WHen I ask for a detail, I mean

• an example
• a fact
• a quotation
• A response (a doubt)
• a clarification
• a reason
• an answer to a basic question (who what where why when which how)

Remember to mark them clearly

• e.g. an example “For instance”
• e.g. an effect “As such”
• e.g. a cause “One reason for this is”
• e.g. another point “In addition, “
• e.g. a response “However,” or “In fact”

Remember to follow instructions

• For example, in a “Solutions” paragraph, the details I want are a summary and a response.
• For example, in a “Description paragraph, I usually ask the second detail sentence have a number and a citation.

Careful

• Don’t start a detail sentence with so, or, but, and
  • NO: . So .And .But .Or
  • OK: , so , and , but , or
• JOIN sentences. Don’t separate them
  • NO: I like dogs. And cats
  • OK: I like dogs and cats
• If you really need to start a new sentence, use the right link
  • And = . Additionally,
  • But = However
