Although the simple sentence is the most direct and
comprehensible form for an individual sentence, overusing
such sentences may make a document seem disjointed. Writing
instructors say that a document is better when less
important ideas are grammatically subordinated to more
important ones so that the grammatical structure emphasizes
the logical structure.
This document could be improved by combining some of
the sentences to subordinate minor ideas to major ones. To
do this, join two simple sentences by using a "that" clause
or an adverb, such as "although." Put the less important
sentence in the subordinate clause after the "that" clause
or adverb. For example, the following sentences
a. The simple sentence is the most comprehensible form
for an individual sentence.
b. Overusing such sentences may make a document seem
disjointed.
were combined in the paragraph above. The combined sentence
subordinates sentence "a" to sentence "b," thus emphasizing
that the information in sentence b is more important than
that in sentence "a."
