A Brief Introduction Whenever writing in English, everyone should keep in mind the following principle: never use a sentence where you can use a phrase; never use a phrase where you can use a single word. In this way, your writing will become more compact and lucid. We can use gerundial phrases（动名词短语）, infinitives（不定式）, participial phrases（分词短语） and prepositional phrases（介词短语） to replace clauses.
