In what way can sentence structure affect the tone of a written work

English

There is typically more than one way to communicate an idea with regard to sentence structure, and how the sentence is structured contributes to its tone. For instance, short/brief sentences can contribute to a sense of hurry or haste. For instance let’s look at the following sentences:

I was late. I quickly ate. I brushed my teeth. I forgot to comb my hair. Then, I was out the door.

Can you feel the tone of urgency communicated by the short sentences?

Likewise, long and drawn out sentences can provide the tone of sluggishness and/or unwillingness. This is something to keep in mind when constructing your own sentences—as you are writing always be aware of your sentence structure and the tone it may communicating.

Answer:

Hi!

The answer to your question is that short sentences get to the point and can seem more honest.

Explanation:

Writers have to be careful with the tone they use for their work as the tone will affect how readers perceive the piece.

By using short, direct sentences, writers look to sound more direct, straight forward, and therefore, honest.

Lapatulllka [165]
A gerund looks like a verb but functions the same way as a noun. But, why does it look like verbs? What does it have in a sentence that a verb does? OBJECT is your answer. They both have objects. For instance, in the sentence, "I dropped my coffee mug" The gerund is "dropped" and it dropped an object (mug). Therefore, your answer is Object.
