Guidelines for Language • You should write out your numbers, unless they are very large. • Don’t make sentences too long. Use periods and lots of them. • Capitalize states. • Use apostrophe for ownership (My mother’s home). • Don’t write as you speak! Writing is more formal!
Guidelines for Language • Don’t use ‘till while writing. Use until while writing. • If there is a list with commas, don’t forget to use an and for the final word in the list. • Their (ownership), they’re (they are) and there (Is he going there)…when do we use them? • Spell check. • When do I use to or too? He went to the store. She is too kind.
Guidelines for Language • Remember to have paragraphs for a change of thought. • Use conjunctions like / but to continue the same thought, but add new information. For example, don’t say: I went to the store, but we moved to St. Louis. Say: I went to the store, but there was no milk there. • Know how to use then (next) and than (comparison). • Use and to connect thoughts…don’t say “We lived in Piedmont for two years then we moved to Rapid City.” Make sure you say and then.
