Answering a question - Assignment Example

Paragraph Critique First of all there were a lot of grammatical mistakes made in the paragraph. It is better if a person uses simpler words than words he or she has little or no idea about. The word motivated has been so wrongly used that even an expert in English will have to go through this sentence at least ten times in order to understand what the writer is trying to say. Double inverted commas are used to indicate a quotation from someone. There has nothing been quoted yet most of the words are used with inverted commas.

Expressions like ‘oh’ are wrongly used in this paragraph as these words are spontaneously used when a mistake has been made. The sentences have been very badly constructed. While reading at the first glance it seems the writer will send the most important work to whom he is interacting with by the 25th of March but after close reading I penetrated that your most important work is just a title of a book. The correct order to write the date is not Mar.25 but either 25 March 2013 or March 25, 2013.

The date should be written in full with the year. It is better to always use full form of words in English. We’re, don’t, didn’t etc are not acceptable in writing formal English so short forms must be avoided. The two commas in the second last sentence have been wrongly used. Such commas are used when the word just before the first comma needs to be defined or explained. Then again the vocabulary is not right. The word patronage does simply not makes any sense in the last sentence. Though indenting is optional but one should use it to indicate a new paragraph (Jones).
