Writing

A noun or pronoun that redefines the subject (i.e. She was a genius)

Verbs that give conditions to other verbs (i.e. could, shall, can)

A word that begins a prepositional phrase, which can augment nouns or noun phrases. (i.e. about, above, across, etc.)

An exclamation that breaks gramattical structure. (i.e. Yikes!)

A word that identifies a noun (i.e. a, an, the)

Verbals are verbs that are not used as verbs (i.e. running is fun, the broken chair remains, I want to live)

A participle that does not describe the subject correctly. (i.e. Running away, the car drove slowly forwards)

A verb used as a noun. (i.e. Running)

A verb preceded by ‘to,’ the basic form of a verb. (i.e. to drive)

A clause that does not form a full sentence. (i.e. I went to the store, which was entertaining.)

A sentence with incorrectly punctuated clauses. (i.e. He ran very fast and she danced beautifully)

A section where two clauses are joined by a comma without any conjunctions. (i.e. I like this day, it is good.)

Active voice is when the subject does something, passive voice is when the subject has something done to it. (I run/ She got ran over)

Subjective is when the pronoun is used as a subject (i.e. He did that). Objective is when the it forms the direct or indirect object. (i.e. I handed her a bag)

Transitive verbs require a direct object, intransitive verbs don’t. (i.e. I ate that cake/ She jumped)

Hypothetical situations (i.e. What if I jumped off a cliff today?)

He left tomorrow

Jimmy left their home.

Jimmy left, then jumped, and sighed,

Repetition in triads (i.e. I will live, I will laugh, and I will love.)

Repetition of similarly sized phrases. (i.e. I need to be loved, but I want to be known.)

Based on insufficient information, possibly inaccurate and unobjective

Sympathy instead of objective truth

(Cause and effect) If A occured after B, then B caused A. It is assumed that B caused A, even if the two are unrelated.

Conflating two things as one without correct correlation

(Poisioning the well) Attacking the person seperate from their beliefs.

Inconsistent premesis for the statement, leading to impossible conclusions

A small sample set that may not represent the true picture

If x percentage of the sample has A, then the whole group sampled from has x percentage of A

Questions that assume the previous one was correct. Attempting to divert attention from the true answer by assuming presuppostions.

If the study wasn’t done enough, then the results may not constitute the true average, only a single testing.
