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
