Use correct verb tense: Ensure that your verbs are in the correct tense (past, present, future) to match the context.

  - Example: "They ran to the store." (past tense)

  

Vary sentence length: Mix short and long sentences to enhance the flow of your writing.

  - Example: "She loves reading. Books take her to different worlds."

Be clear and concise: Avoid unnecessary words that can confuse your message.

  - Example: "He talks loudly" instead of "He is talking in a loud voice."

Use descriptive language: Add adjectives and adverbs for more detail.

  - Example: "The tall man quickly crossed the busy street."
