  7. Syntax (sentence structure) • Underline the subject and verb in your 5 sentences. • Do you start every sentence: subject + verb + all the rest? • Look at the sentence structures. • Do you have too many short, choppy sentences? Can you combine some with subordinating conjunctions (after, when, if ) or relative pronouns (who, that, which)? • See pp. 362 ff.
