What I learned from your Memoirs Really, what you need to learn and change in your own writing.

Using periods – You need to learn to use periods people…seriously… My eyes grew wider, I felt as if my eyes would fall from my head and land in the box, I could see the amazing work of art that Nike produced, and they looked more amazing than they did on the computer, like lightening I grabbed my shoes and squashed them onto my feet as fast as my fingers would move, they felt like I was stepping in foam as it molded around my foot and felt as if I was walking on air, I will never forget this day, it changed my life forever.

Seen should never be used ever I seen him come towards me - Nope…wrong! I saw him come towards me – correct! I have seen him coming towards me – also correct (although not in the same context). You actually really never need to use the word seen ever because you can just use saw.

Sentence Fluency When I comment on your papers and say “sentence fluency”, that usually means that your sentence is confusing or disjointed. There is an issue with the flow of the sentence. Example: The boat looked like an older version of motor boat; it was a dull grey and had no toilet. – Missing “a”, which affects the sentence fluency. Example: I had won my first ever fight, and what a way to win. This should read: I had won the first fight I had ever fought, and what a way to win.

Please stop yelling at me! When you use an exclamation mark at the end of the sentence, this denotes yelling. Example: The floor was wet and slippery and we were soaked from our heads to our toes! Why is there yelling about the floor being slippery? Example:

There needs to be a comma in front of but…please put the comma in front of but Use commas to separate independent clauses when they are joined by any of these seven coordinating conjunctions: and, but, for, or, nor, so, yet. The game was over, but the crowd refused to leave. The student explained her question, yet the instructor still didn't seem to understand. Yesterday was her brother's birthday, so she took him out to dinner.
