- Pay attention to the tense and aspect when adding verbs. A sentence needs to be grammatically correct and appropriate to its context. Consider if the sentence is in the present, past, future, or a progressive form.
- Consider the use of conjunctions:
- 'and' (additions)

- 'because' (explanations)
- Use nouns, adjectives, or adverbs depending on the required grammatical structure.
