more effective than those which
are long and complex.
2. If in doubt, remember
this rule: Keep it short.

work
clearly.

The
word
order
of
a
simple
sentence
written
in
English
is
as
follows:

goldfish

you
are

with
words
such
as

words
belong
in
the
'middle'
of
a

not
at

8.
Most
problems
in
writing
are
caused
by
two
or
three
things:
- The
sentence
is
often
much
too
long.
- One
clause
is
badly
tagged
on
after
another.
- The
sentence
starts
with
a
verb
or
object,
not
the
subject.
- It
starts
with
a
conjunction
('although',
'because').

solution
to
this
problem
is
worth
repeating.

it
short.
Keep
it
simple.
