Explanation

Combine short sentences to improve flow. Methods: coordination (using and, but, or), subordination (using because, although, when), relative clauses, appositives.

“John is a teacher. He works at Central School.” becomes “John is a teacher who works at Central School” or “John, a teacher, works at Central School.”

Avoid: comma splices (joining with just comma), run-ons (no punctuation), stringy sentences (too many ands). Good writing varies sentence structure and length.
