The document discusses two types of stringy sentences: stringy sentences and overloaded sentences. Stringy sentences are long sentences joined by "and" while overloaded sentences contain many clauses joined by words like "because, when, then, so, etc.". The document provides examples of each and gives tips on how to fix them, such as splitting long sentences into shorter ones and removing unnecessary details.

2. STRINGY SENTENCES
Stringy sentences- a long “string” of clauses
joined by the word „and‟ each time.
Ex.- Yesterday morning, I woke up and went
downstairs and found out that the electricity
was off and I went upstairs to get ready and fell
on the stairs and I finally got to my room and
got dressed.

3. FIXING STRINGY SENTENCES…
1. Split the overly long sentence into a few smaller ones.
2. Reread sentence and decide if there are unnecessary parts that could
be cut out.
Yesterday morning, I woke up and went downstairs and found out that the
electricity was off and I went upstairs to get ready and fell on the stairs and
I finally got to my room and got dressed.
After waking up yesterday, I found that the electricity was off. I fell on the
stairs as I went upstairs to dress; but finally made it to my room and got
dressed.

4. STUFFED/OVERLOADED SENTENCES
Overloaded sentences-a long string of phrases
and clauses joined by various words like
because, when, then, so, etc.
Ex. When I was younger, I loved to go bowling
because it was so much fun and my friends all
would come with me because they like bowling,
too, then after we would sometimes go to the
movies if something good was playing, then we
would go out to eat.

5. FIXING OVERLOADED SENTENCES…
1. Break sentences up into smaller ones.
2. See if some phrases can be combined into the same one.
3. See if some details are not needed and can be deleted.

my friends all would come with me because they like bowling, too, then
after we would sometimes go to the movies if something good was
playing, then we would go out to eat.
