Grammar

Alright, I know, no one wants to remember back to school days when we had to identify the noun, verb, adjective, and everyone’s favourite, the dangling participle.

However, re-learning a little bit about grammar and paragraph structure will help your readers.

Here are two hints that can make anyone’s writing better:

• Avoid the passive voice. It’s overused and weakens your point.

• State your argument/thesis/point clearly and succinctly first. Only then should you go on to support it. Don’t leave the point to the end.

There’s no doubt that writing well is a dominant factor in the quest to “improve communications”.
