Identifying Basic Grammar Patterns

In this post I will be giving the longest paragraph in my QRG and dissecting the grammar patterns with in it. I will also be talking about what this practice helped me realize with my writing and what I want to improve on.

The dissecting of my longest paragraph can be found here.

After going through my paragraph, I found that I tend to start sentences with prepositional phrases and extend them using conjunctions. My strongest sentences tend to be compound complex sentences and compound sentences. I fail to use many imperative sentences an exclamatory sentences, mainly due to this genre. I think that something that I would want to work on for future projects is using a more variety of sentence structures and not just compounds and complex or both. That and not starting my sentences off with prepositional phrases I think will help strengthen my writing.
