Dear 1L, Here’s a simple step to make your sentences read more smoothly.

Dear 1L,

Add a comma to break apart a sentence when you have 2 actors doing different verbs. Always.

🟢 CORRECT:

A did x, and B did y.

🔴 INCORRECT:

A did x and B did y.

Follow the above to write with proper grammar, too.

Anyone disagree?

Fondly,

💌 Amanda
