9.2 Clarity, Part 2

Clarity, Part 2

Active Verbs

Active verbs are used because they are clearer and more direct than the passive voice. They emphasis the meaning with action. The passive voice is used in most scientific writings when experiments and processes are described.

Parallel Ideas

Parallel ideas are presented as pairs and are linked with correlated conjunctions by creating emphasis. Grammatical structure within a sentence is followed with the 2^nd half of the pair.

Needed Words

Add needed words to make comparisons and avoid ambiguity in sentences. Add the word “that” if there is a misreading.

Wordy Sentences

Eliminate redundancy in wordy sentences by cutting out empty or inflated phrases by strengthening the verb.
