4 Ways to Cut Words Without Cutting Substance

Monkey see. Monkey do?
Take 4 sentence-snippers to the zoo:

🔪 “there are”

“Four monkeys play at the zoo today.”

—is shorter than—

“There are four monkeys playing at the zoo today.”

🔪 “of the”

“The monkey’s tail is long.”

—is shorter than—

“The tail of the monkey is long.” 🐒

🔪 “by the”

“The zoo’s decision is final.”

—is shorter than—

“The decision by the zoo is final.”

🔪 “in order to”

“You must hurry to get the bus to the zoo.”

—is shorter than—

“You must hurry in order to get the bus to the zoo.”

🦘 And watch out for that wild kangaroo!

Fondly,
