First, many short sentences in succession make it appear that a writer is incapable of sustaining a complex thought. Second, the lesson here is to turn your choppy sentences into longer, more complex ones by making them compound sentences with several subjects and verbs. Third, the reason for doing that in formal writing is simple. Fourth, when your writing is more intricate, it makes your thinking look that way.

Verb tense and mood

        Verb tense and mood is a good thing to learn in english and it going to make your english very good.  All grammars have their own rules to make it good and easy to understand it. Verb tense and mood has very easy steps to follow. First, most verbs we use are in the indicative mood, which indicates a fact or opinion. Second, some verbs are in the imperative mood, which expresses commands and requests. Third, When verbs show something contrary to fact, they are in the subjunctive mood.

Standard English verb forms

      Standard English verb forms was a very good grammar that you really should learn and understand in English grammar.  Standard English verb forms has going to make your english very good and easy. There is some rules for the standard English verb forms. Firs, a verb in the present tense shows that something is happening now or that something happens regularly. Second, a verb in the past tense shows that something took place before now.

Adverbs are often misplaced in such sentences, which require adjectives instead. Rule 3. The word good is an adjective, whose adverb equivalent is well.

Misplaced and Dangling Modifiers

Misplaced and dangling modifiers  have some confusing things.  Misplaced and dangling modifiers have some grammar that you have to follow.  Misplaced modifier is phrase, or clause that is improperly separated from the word it modifies or describes. First, misplaced adjectives. Second, placement of adverbs. Third, misplaced phrases. Fourth, misplaced clauses. The dangling modifier is a phrase or clause that is not clearly and logically related to the word or words it modifies. The dangling modifier has it way it is not like a misplaced modifier, a dangling modifier can not be corrected by simply moving it to a different place in a sentence.

Shifts

      Shifts are more default and confusing more than I thought  because there are so many of them. First, shifts in ganeral are confusing change in person, verb tense, voice, mood, or number. Secondly,  shifts in person are three forms I and we, you and they, and he and she.  Thirdly, shifts in verb tense are shifts in times, from present to past and from past to future tense. Fourthly, shifts in voice it is to be in active voice when the subject performs the action is emphasized. Fifthly, shifts in mood like people sentences has mood, but it just tow indicative and subjunctive. Finally, shifts in number shifts from singular to plural and from plural to single.

Who and Whom

         Who and Whom were very easy grammar quiz to do. It may look a little bit confusing, but when you use to it going to be easy to you. First, you have to know the deferent between who and whom. Who is an interrogative pronoun and is used in place of the subject of a question. Also who can be used in statements, in place of the subject of a clause. Whom is also an interrogative pronoun, but it is used in place of the object of a question.  After a preposition always use whom it is always the correct choice .

Pronoun Reference

        Pronoun reference was an easy grammar to do for me, it was easier than I thought.  Pronoun reference take the place of a noun in a sentence. Pronoun reference makes writing more easy and formal. Pronouns appear as close to their antecedent as possible, and refer only to a single antecedent to minimize confusion.  Pronoun reference to a specific noun, and not to a possessive noun or a noun within a prepositional phrase. The good thing about  pronoun reference there is no rule that limits the number of  pronoun reference.

Mixed constructions

     A mixed constructions were very easy and learning how it work was very good. A mixed construction is a sentence with incompatible elements that begins with one type of structure and shifts to another type of structure. If one component of an equation is mixed with a component of another equation, the meaning becomes unclear. Basically you can mix the none and the subject without changing the meaning . It is pretty good to have them in you writing, it will give you more help in you're writing. As you can see we should know about a mixed constructions to make a good writing.

Needed words

       The grammar needed words were default, were not always clear, and so much deference  than the other English grammar. It is really important to know about, because you will not write good in any thing with out them. When writing about a topic we tend get wordy and over-write or miss subtle differences that may confuse the reader.  Sometimes an "extra" word  may be necessary to distinguish what is being referred to or compared in the sentence. When you choosing words make sure they are needed in your sentence. As you can see we should learn a lot about needed words.

Pronoun-antecedent agreement

       The pronoun-antecedent agreement  was a little bit default.  The pronoun-antecedent agreement is kind of hard to know a little bit, because it is  a little bit default to make the agreements. Also There are some grammar to follow for the pronoun-antecedent agreement. A pronoun takes the place of a noun and sometimes refers to a noun, and an antecedent is a noun or pronoun to which another noun or pronoun refers. It usually goes before the pronoun. The pronoun antecedent agreement is when the pronoun agrees in number, and person with its antecedent. As you can see it is a little bit default.

Run-on sentences

        Run-on sentences was very easy, and it is very helpful thing to know in English for making writhing very prefect, and very easy for readers to read. That you can use to repair comma splices: periods, semicolons, and commas with coordinating conjunctions. Use run-on sentences if you want to make more of a comment on the connection between the two sentences. Also if you wanted to get fancy, you could use a conjunctive adverb with a semicolon and a comma. It will make your writing pretty good, and it is really prefect for someone who is a wittier or a columnist.

Identifying parallel structure

         Identifying parallel structure was little bit hard and confusing. If you want perfect, and very nice  English you should learn the  identifying parallel structure, to have balances  in your English, your writing, and you can not have a sentence without  identifying parallel structure. A sentence without parallel structure is like an imbalanced aircraft; it'll get you from point A to point B, but no one's going to congratulate the pilot when it lands. A sentence with out identifying parallel structure  sound very funny even if it look very good and perfect, so you must learn and know about identifying parallel structure.

Active vs. be verbs

      Active vs. be verbs was a little bit hard, but with some practice it will be very easy. The active is very helpful in English and it is really going to make your english very good. In active sentences, the thing doing the action is the subject of the sentence and the thing receiving the action is the object. Most sentences are active. Also be verbs is very helpful in English, because you can not spake and write English with out be verb. In be verb sentences, the thing receiving the action is the subject of the sentence and the thing doing the action is optionally included near the end of the sentence.

Sentence fragments

      Sentence fragments, was very easy and I like it. It is very good to know about the sentence fragments for helping  your English. There are four reasons for a fragments. Number one it is missing a subject. Number two  it is missing a verb. Number three  it is missing a subject and verb. Number four it is subordinate clause. If you want to learn English and make your English very good you should learn the fragments that will make your English very good.

Subject-verb agreement

     Subject and verb agreement, it was very easy for me. It is  making subject and verb agree with each other. There are some grammar  you have to follow. Number one is when the subject of a sentence is composed of two or more nouns or pronouns connected by and, use a plural verb. Number two is when two or more singular nouns or pronouns are connected by or nor, use a singular verb. Number three when a compound subject contains both a singular and a plural noun or pronoun joined by or or nor, the verb should agree with the part of the subject that is nearer the verb. If you follow the grammar it will be easy for you.
