In order to speak clearly, to be heard and to be understood sentences have to make sense.

Sentences are the building blocks of communication. Clear, concise and complete sentences achieve their goals. Sentence fragments, rambling sentences and improperly joined sentences are inefficient.

The verb plays an important role in sentence construction. It says what is happening. Efficient sentences rely on the information verbs convey. Precise and descriptive verbs enhance clear communication.
