  • PARALLELISM:n any given list, each item should be in the exact same format. Either noun, noun, noun, verb, verb, verb, ect.
  • CLAUSES: Whenever you encounter a parenthetical clause (a clause set off by commas that can be removed without affecting the fundamental meaning of the sentence), cross it out and check subject-verb agreement
  • COMPARISON: Compare things to things and people to people. Ex: At the age of twenty-four, playwright Thornton Wilder was balding and bespectacled, and his clothes were like a much older man (like those of a much older man).
