Description:
Sentences that fall into this category are usually long and awkwardly
constructed, but often do not have specific, technical grammar problems.
Approach:
Remember several of the following general suggestions about grammar questions.
1) Short is Sweet
Correct answers are usually short and to the point.
2) -ing is B-A-D
-
Verbs that end with -ing are very often wrong.
-
"Being" and "having" are almost always wrong!
-
-ing verbs that are surrounded by prepositions are almost always wrong!
3) Make it Match
Sentences should generally sound balanced and even. The last part of the
sentence should have the same sound as the first part of the sentence.
Sentences, paragraphs, and whole passages should have rhythmic and consistent
phrasing all the way through.
