What you’ll learn to do: learn how to write strong, effective sentences

As a writer, you know about thesis statements, paragraphs, introductions, and conclusions. You also think about your audience and how to use language effectively. The building blocks of your writing are the words you use in a sentence. In this section, we’re going to spend a little time reviewing techniques for writing powerful sentences. With some practice, writing effective sentences can become a natural part of your writing process. They can also be an effective part of your revising process, as you work to ensure every sentence you write is as powerful as it can be to communicate your ideas to your reader.
