A good writer varies sentence types and lengths to hold the readers' attention. Writing the same types of sentences over and over makes for dull writing and forces the reader to either stop reading.
Sentence length is used to create emphasis. Short sentences create emphasis following long sentences. Three main types of sentences for
variety. Simple sentences: one independent clause
consisting of a subject and predicate. Compound sentences: two independent
clauses joined by a comma and a conjunction or a semicolon.
