Study Notes
Typography
- Emboldening, italics, and underlining are types of typographical emphasis, used to grab attention, emphasize important information, or reinforce the writer's message.
Punctuation
- Dashes (—) separate parts of a sentence or used to indicate a break in thought.
- Hyphens (-) connect parts of a word, e.g., high-speed, full-time, well-known.
- Ellipses (...) show a pause or continuation, building tension or suspense.
- Brackets () provide extra information or clarify meaning.
- Commas (,) separate items in a list or clauses in a sentence.
- Colons (:) introduce lists or connect information.
- Semi-colons (;) connect two related clauses into one sentence.
- Full stops (.) end sentences, using many can emphasize information or create a sense of pause.
Organisation
- Subheadings organise a text into easy-to-find sections.
- Bullet points clarify main points into a list.
- Numbered lists show the order in which things happen or relative importance.
- Single-line paragraphs emphasize information and create pause or suspense.
Grammar
- Verb tenses (present, past, future) express when events take place.
- Auxiliary verbs (helping verbs) give extra meaning to the main verb.
- Imperative verbs give commands or direct the reader to do something.
- Direct/personal address uses 'you' to speak directly to the audience.
- Noun phrases are groups of words built around a noun, and can be expanded to include modifying words.
