Sentence structure in English Writing

What is a complete sentence?

Sentences provide us with the framework for the clear written expression of our ideas. The aim in writing is always to write in complete sentences which are correctly punctuated. Sentences always begin with a capital letter and end in either a full stop, exclamation or question mark.

prepositions in English Writing

Prepositions are short words (on, in, to) that usually stand in front of nouns (sometimes also in front of gerund verbs).

One preposition in your native language might have several translations depending on the situation.

Smith et al. investigated the relationship.

The active voice is direct (performer–verb–receiver), vigorous, clear, and concise. The reader knows who is responsible for the action. 

Smart Words

Sometimes we feel the urge to express a description, with different —and in most cases more specific— words to speak or write understandably. So it will be necessary to find advanced vocabularies whether it is for an interview, an essay, a speech or  the need to have the last word in an argument. A capacious vocabulary is elementary for sounding smart or more intelligent. 

Writing scientific papers in English

Writing an effective scientific paper is not easy. A good rule of thumb is to write as if your paper will be read by a person who knows about the field in general but does not already know what you did. Before you write a scientific paper, read some scientific papers that have been written in the format of the paper you plan to use. In addition to the science, pay attention to the writing style and format because Scientific English writing has its own style and rhythm.
