Keyword Research For For Rv Hitch

On smaller TV's, air {bags|luggage|baggage} can have a {negative|adverse|unfavorable} {effect|impact} to the {function|perform|operate} of a {properly|correctly} setup WD hitch. The truck rear sag is accounted for and {normal|regular}. I {think|assume|suppose} I {got|received|obtained} {it all|all of it} {figured out|found out|discovered} - {and you|and also you} guys {were|have been|had been} {a big|an enormous|a giant} help! I {decided|determined} {to start|to {start|begin} out|to begin} from scratch, and I {think|assume|suppose} {everything|every thing|every little thing} {worked|labored} out. The {major|main} {problem|drawback|downside} {seems|appears} to have been the ball mount I had was not designed to angle the trunnion bars down {enough|sufficient}.

I use 10psi in my air {bags|luggage|baggage} {just|simply} {to keep|to maintain} them inflated {enough|sufficient} to not be {damaged|broken}. If you do as {you are|you're|you {might|may|would possibly} be} {talking|speaking} about, make the air bag stiff first then {find|discover} that psi then {attempt to|try and|try to} {set up|arrange} the WD on the {front|entrance} of the truck. Here are my {thoughts|ideas} as {in this|on this} case {they are|they're} {only|solely} {thoughts|ideas} as {I have|I even have|I {actually|truly|really} have} {never|by no means} {done|carried out|accomplished} this. While {you will|you'll} {gain|achieve|acquire} downward stiffness you {also|additionally} {gain|achieve|acquire} upward {lift|raise|carry} with air {bags|luggage|baggage}. When you drop the {dead|lifeless|useless} weight of the TT on the ball {the main|the primary|the principle} suspension will go down, {but the|however the} air {bags|luggage|baggage} are {still|nonetheless} pushing up.

However {you still|you {continue|proceed} to} have these air {bags|luggage|baggage} {in the|within the} equation pushing up.

2.If {you have|you've|you {could|might|may} have} 700# or 800# of tongue and {using|utilizing} 800# wd bars, then the hi rise ball will {lower|decrease} the hitch head {and should|and will|and may} preload up the wd bars {more|extra} and {transfer|switch} {more|extra} weight. OK I "think" I know what {you are|you're|you {might|may|would possibly} be} {up to|as {much|a lot} as}, {maybe|perhaps|possibly}. 40psi {in the|within the} air {bags|luggage|baggage} is {a fair|a good} {amount|quantity}. We have had {folks|people|of us} use air {bags|luggage|baggage} with a WD hitch {but|however} {for different|for various} {reason|cause|purpose} then yours. Theirs was from {high|excessive} {bed|mattress} weight {changes|modifications|adjustments}.

Then when quads {came|got here} after hitching up the WD, he would he would add air to {bring|convey|deliver} the {back|again} of the truck {up to|as {much|a lot} as} {where|the place} he had it set with the WD and no quads. The rear of the truck took the added weight and the WD was {acting|appearing|performing} {like it|prefer it} did {before|earlier than}.

{I have|I even have|I {actually|truly|really} have} been watching this thread with {interest|curiosity}, as {I have|I even have|I {actually|truly|really} have} a Pro Series SC which I {purchased|bought} in April, 2008. {I have|I even have|I {actually|truly|really} have} {never|by no means} been {totally|completely} {satisfied|glad|happy} with the {set up|arrange} in that I {could|might|may} {never|by no means} get my van {level|degree|stage}. Originally, I was towing with a 1995 Chevy G20 Conversion Van, and {while|whereas} {handling|dealing with} and sway {were|have been|had been} {fine|nice|fantastic}, I {could not|couldn't} get the rear {end|finish} sag out {without|with out} {adding|including} air to my air {bags|luggage|baggage}. I chalked it {up to|as {much|a lot} as} the rear springs {in the|within the} van being on the {soft|gentle|delicate} {side|aspect|facet}, and the van being loaded {to near|to close} full {capacity|capability}.

{3|three}.If 1 {and 2|and {a couple|a pair} of|and a pair of} {do not|don't} {correct|right|appropriate} it, then {call|name} Jayco and ask them {if it is|whether it is} OK to drill a {hole|gap} {in the|within the} A {frame|body} and {move|transfer} the friction pad up {higher|greater|larger}. They {most likely|most probably|more than likely} {will not|won't|is not going to} object {but|however} {better|higher} to {call|name} on these lighter TT's A frames. They have good {factory|manufacturing unit|manufacturing facility} tech service. Moving the pad up an inch or {more|extra} will change the WD bar loading {a lot|lots|so much} {and you can|and you may|and you'll} take out {some of the|a few of the|a {number of|variety of} the} head tilt.

Actually doing this {will not|won't|is not going to} {cost|value|price} you {much|a lot} {if your|in case your} WD bars are {right|proper} {and you can|and you may|and you'll} {maybe|perhaps|possibly} use the tow ball {you have|you've|you {could|might|may} have} now. Part of {the problem|the issue} is the relative frequency of the {car|automotive|automobile} and the trailer. Stiffer shocks will change the damping {characteristics|traits} of the rear {and probably|and doubtless|and possibly} damp out the undulations with no {other|different} change. This is {a problem|an issue} with softer {riding|driving|using} {cars|automobiles|vehicles} when {greater|higher|larger} weights are added. Increasing the spring {rate|price|fee} with the air {bags|luggage|baggage} {will also|may also|may even} shift the frequency in {the right|the best|the proper} {direction|course|path}.

With the airbags {you can|you'll {be able|have the ability|find a way} to|you {possibly|probably|presumably} can} {adjust|regulate|modify} to {level|degree|stage} the headlights and put the hitch and trailer in {the right|the best|the proper} relative positions. The {weather|climate} has been so {lousy|awful}, that I {did not|didn't} get {a chance|an opportunity} to take any {pictures|footage|photos} {before|earlier than} {putting|placing} the trailer {back|again} in storage. I am {using|utilizing} {the same|the identical} brackets on the tongue, trunnions, and 1100# bars.

This is my first {post|submit|publish} {in this|on this} {forum|discussion board}. English {is not|isn't|just isn't} my {mother|mom} tongue; please excuse any errors on my {part|half}... {I have|I even have|I {actually|truly|really} have} {just|simply} taken {delivery|supply} of my new Trillium 1300 from Great West Vans . Yesterday, I drove approximatly 200 kilometers and I {found|discovered} that the rear suspension was bouncing a lot!

The tongue weight with the propane tank and the battery is approximatly 200 {pounds|kilos}, {which is not|which isn't} that {much|a lot}. The hitch {height|peak|top} has been adjusted by the {dealer|supplier|vendor}. My towing {vehicle|car|automobile} is a Hyundai Santa Fe V and has a towing {capacity|capability} of 3500 lbs .

Has {anybody|anyone} {experienced|skilled} this problem? Do {you have|you've|you {could|might|may} have} any {suggestions|ideas|recommendations} (Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs, Coil SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs for Coil Spring Suspension, {using|utilizing} a weight distribution system). I used to tow a popup trailer with {the same|the identical} specs {without any|with none} {problem|drawback|downside}. Again {same|similar|identical} Reese PN HP trunnion hitch head and {using|utilizing} {the same|the identical} trunnion lugs Reese {but|however} with straight WD bars. The WD bars lock up at {a different|a special|a unique} angle. The {top|prime|high} trunnion lug is {advanced|superior} {forward|ahead} by {a lot|lots|so much}.

When I {said|stated|mentioned} {same|similar|identical} head, I meant {the same|the identical} Reese {part|half} {number|quantity}. Mine it the prior {generation|era|technology} {3|three} piece weleded head, yours the all 1 piece {cast|forged|solid}, {but|however} {same|similar|identical} PN. If I knew your loaded tongue weight I {could|might|may} "guess" {closer|nearer}. But I would {back|again} off 1 or 2 {teeth|tooth|enamel} of head tilt {to start|to {start|begin} out|to begin} with after the hi rise ball head drop. If you {start|begin} with {the same|the identical} {teeth|tooth|enamel} {you have|you've|you {could|might|may} have} now, it {might be|could be|may be} {dead|lifeless|useless} on or {too much|an {excessive|extreme} {amount|quantity} of} and {you have to|you {need|want} to|you must} {back|again} off {like you|such as you} {said|stated|mentioned}.

If you {start|begin} with 1 to 2 {less|much less} {teeth|tooth|enamel} {then you|then you definitely|you then} {might have|may need|might need} to add. Drop the ball 1", {back|again} off 1 tooth of rear head tilt {and you|and also you} {might be|could be|may be} {right|proper} on with the WD. What {seems|appears} so odd is why Reese {on your|in your} head set the trunnion sockets {so far|thus far|up to now} {advanced|superior}. They {had to|needed to} {almost|virtually|nearly} do it on {purpose|objective|function}. They make {those|these} hitches {trying|making an attempt|attempting} {to fit|to suit} all {combinations|mixtures|combos} of TT frames and yours {is unique|is exclusive}.

Your out of L bracket adjustment by {the original|the unique} holes and {the head|the top|the pinnacle} tilt is all {that you have|that you've|that {you've|you've got|you have} got} left to tweak. Does you're A {frame|body} {look like|seem like|appear to be} that {vintage|classic} Jay Feather? Reason I {bring|convey|deliver} this up is {just a|only a} {friendly|pleasant} heads up as {I have|I even have|I {actually|truly|really} have} seen on {some of|a few of} {those|these} {light|mild|gentle} weight Jay Feathers have a sticker that {said|stated|mentioned} 1,000# WD bars max.

Jayco had some {issues|points} early on with {higher|greater|larger} tongue weigths/WD bars on {those|these} lighter frames. Now {that you have|that you've|that {you've|you've got|you have} got} a heavier suspension Van, is the any weight aft of the TV axle {in the|within the} van? The WD hitch {is going|goes} to work on that weight as {well|properly|nicely}. And that then works on the WD bars {and then|after which} into the A {frame|body}. Need {to find|to {seek|search} out|to search out} out your loaded tongue weight, {find|discover} out the WD bar {rating|score|ranking} {and then|after which} regroup. And {maybe|perhaps|possibly} a {call|name} to Jayco {with your|together with your|along with your} vin {number|quantity} to see if that 1,000# WD bar loading applies or not {on your|in your} {frame|body}.

Ask , {what is the|what's the} highest tongue weight and WD bar {you can use|you {should|ought to} use|you {need to|have to|must} use} {without|with out} A {frame|body} {concerns|considerations|issues}. Looking {at the|on the} pic of the hitch head and WD bar, your {next|subsequent} tweak {may be|could {also|additionally} be} {to move|to maneuver} the friction pad up 1 {hole|gap} on {each side|all sides|both sides} {if you|should you|when you} can. The SC {series|collection|sequence} has {a few|a couple of|a {number|quantity} of} {styles|types|kinds} of pad mount and pending your {frame|body} width there {may|might|could} or {may not be|is {probably|in all probability|most likely} not|will not be} room to go up 1 {hole|gap}. If {there is|there's|there {may|might|could} be}, that 1 {hole|gap} will load up the WD bar {more|extra}.

If {it is|it's}, then {back|again} off 1 tooth on the hitch head angle. Once you {adjust|regulate|modify} {the head|the top|the pinnacle} or friction bar hanger, {you will need|you'll need|you will want} {to start|to {start|begin} out|to begin} over on the WD settings on the truck. Load up the TT first and get {the weight|the load|the burden} balanced out, full LP too. Then {adjust|regulate|modify} {the head|the top|the pinnacle} tilt and if {needed|wanted} {raise|increase|elevate} {lower|decrease} the hitch head on the shank to {level|degree|stage} the TT {back|again} out and {check|examine|verify} the WD one {last|final} time. When {you put|you set|you place} any {amount|quantity} of air bag {in this|on this} equation, {you are|you're|you {might|may|would possibly} be} affecting the WD hitch. Air {bags|luggage|baggage} {help|assist} {lift|raise|carry} the rear axle {but|however} {do not|don't} {transfer|switch} {much|a lot}, weight to the {front|entrance} axle and none to the TT axles.

They {also|additionally} unload the WD hitch antisway controls {and do not|and don't} {help|assist} a straining rear axle for {capacity|capability} as {they do not|they don't} {move|transfer} {the weight|the load|the burden} like a WD hitch does. Now to your air bag questions, what I am going to say is {somewhat|considerably} generic about air {bags|luggage|baggage} and a WD hitch. Like a 1 ton truck with 2 quads {in the {back|again} of|behind|at the {back|again} of} the {bed|mattress} that some {times|occasions|instances} come {camping|tenting} {and some|and a few} {times|occasions|instances} {do not|don't}. Truck {back|again} {end|finish} {way|method|means} up off {the ground|the bottom}. I was {helping|serving to} a buddy {right|proper} {here|right here} in my driveway.

The {dealer|supplier|vendor} set him up and he was having {issues|points} so I {looked at|checked out} it. What I {found|discovered} was the {dealer|supplier|vendor} gave him 1 WD bar with 1 1/8" lugs and 1 WD bar with 7/8" lugs {trying|making an attempt|attempting} {to use|to make use of} it in {the same|the identical} hitch head. They had them in old {stock|inventory} and was {just|simply} {using|utilizing} them up. I'm {sure|positive|certain} {they had|that they had|they'd} no clue what they did. They {just|simply} grabbed 2 WD and went and put them on. Since {you have|you've|you {could|might|may} have} {extra|additional|further} holes on the WD bar pad brackets, {can you|are you {able|capable} to} go up 1 {hole|gap} on {each|every} side?

But {again|once more} {check|examine|verify} your weights out first. Don't {want to|need to|wish to} {fix|repair} the WD to then {find|discover} out {you have|you've|you {could|might|may} have} an A {frame|body} {issue|problem|concern}. Some up hill will work, {a real|an actual} lot {might|may|would possibly} create some turning {issues|points}. Here is {the quick|the fast|the short} {answer|reply} with {more|extra} to {follow|comply with|observe} as I'm {short|brief|quick} on time {right|proper} now.

Rather then {buying|shopping for} {the same|the identical} head {you have|you've|you {could|might|may} have} now, {buy|purchase} {the new|the {brand|model} new} head {that is|that's} {sold|bought|offered} for the Reese SC hitch. This {will require|would require} {the new|the {brand|model} new} head and new trunnion ends. Your WD {issue|problem|concern} on the truck is steming from the angle the trunnion sockets are {cast|forged|solid} into the hitch head and your 6" {frame|body}. The new HP hitch head {does not|doesn't} have this {same|similar|identical} {issue|problem|concern} {and can|and may|and might} {allow|permit|enable} for {more|extra} WD {transfer|switch} {with your|together with your|along with your} 6" {frame|body} setup. Again, the air {bags|luggage|baggage} are used {just like|identical to|similar to} they {were|have been|had been} {permanent|everlasting} springs.

But, they do give me {a lot of|lots of|plenty of} latitude if I {were|have been|had been} {to change|to vary|to alter} {loads|masses|hundreds} {in the|within the} truck {bed|mattress}. Yes, {but|however} {they are|they're} {capable of|able to} {much more|far more|rather more}, 100psi to be {exact|actual|precise}. When I towed the trailer {home|house|residence} initially {before|earlier than} pickup up the Reese SC I {had to|needed to} add {around|round} 50psi to {level|degree|stage} the truck out.

As many have {stated|said|acknowledged} {here|right here} on RV.NET {the new|the {brand|model} new} Tundra is softly sprung on the rear {end|finish}. I've had the airbags for {some time|a while} to {deal with|cope with|take care of} {using|utilizing} the truck as a truck and hauling {bed|mattress} weight. {I have|I even have|I {actually|truly|really} have} coil air bag on my Durango and it {did not|didn't} {help|assist} {much|a lot}.I {usually|often|normally} set at 32 PSI. The WD helps and lifts up the rear of TV 1.{75|seventy five}"-2".

My enclosed trailer loaded 6600 lbs and the tongue weight 800 lbs. At any {rate|price|fee}, I {got|received|obtained} {a new|a {brand|model} new} ball mount, and did {a complete|an entire|a whole} re-installation by the newer set of {instructions|directions}. There {may be|could {also|additionally} be} a "{another|one other}" new {learning|studying} to {this {type|sort|kind} of|this {kind|type|sort} of|this {sort|type|kind} of} WD hitch. Next time you go {camping|tenting} take a pic of the hitch "up" {and how|and the way} {high|excessive} {you have to|you {need|want} to|you must} go. Your {situation|state of affairs|scenario} is {a little|slightly|somewhat} {different|totally different|completely different}.

It {sounds like|seems like|feels like} your wanting the air bag for suspension stiffness, "I think". Well left me ask, what do {you have|you've|you {could|might|may} have} {in the|within the} truck {bed|mattress} and is it {located|situated|positioned} behind the rear axle? And how {much|a lot} weight {might|may|would possibly} that be?

I know you Toy hauler guys carry {a lot of|lots of|plenty of} toys…. If {this is|that is} {truly|really|actually} that {much|a lot}, that {is {enough|sufficient} to|is {sufficient|enough|adequate} to} make a WD head {move|transfer} on the shank adjustment to {bring|convey|deliver} it up {more|extra} {level|degree|stage}. Now {before|earlier than} {you move|you progress} the shank {grab|seize} {a standard|a normal|a regular} carpenter {level|degree|stage}, 12" 24" 36" 48" which ever {you have|you've|you {could|might|may} have}. Find a {level|degree|stage} piece of concrete/black {top|prime|high}. Put {the level|the extent} on {the ground|the bottom}, {confirm|affirm|verify} yup it's {level|degree|stage}.

Then use {the level|the extent} on {the bottom|the underside} of the {frame|body}, on the siding {and then|after which} inside on {the floor|the ground}. Over the axles is supported, to the {back|again} and the {front|entrance} of the axle {may|might|could} sag. So {basically|principally|mainly} {find|discover} the {happy|joyful|pleased} {average|common} of what {level|degree|stage} is. Pick {an easy|a simple|a straightforward} {to remember|to recollect} and {where|the place} to measure spot on the {frame|body}. I {never|by no means} {want to|need to|wish to} use the weight-transfer bars to {handle|deal with} any {additional|further|extra} load {in the|within the} {bed|mattress} of my truck.

The weight-transfer {principle|precept} is designed {only|solely} to accommodate tongue weight, not for load {in the|within the} {bed|mattress} of the tow {vehicle|car|automobile}. I {do not|don't} plan on {adding|including} any weight to the {back|again} of the truck {aside from|apart from|except for} {a night|an evening} or two's firewood. Next outing, take {a close|an in depth|a detailed} pic of the {side|aspect|facet} of the hitch. It {looks|appears|seems} like from afar {things|issues} {where|the place} setup OK, {just|simply} you {needed|wanted} {more|extra} head tilt. Just driving {around the|across the} block will change fender hieghts +- 1/8" some {times|occasions|instances}. They are on springs and have a settling {range|vary}. May {need|want} 1 {last|final} tweak or your good. But, the {question|query} was {about the|concerning the|in regards to the} {claim|declare} that {adding|including} air {bags|luggage|baggage} being 50% as {effective|efficient} as a WDH.

And that {data|knowledge|information} {would have to|must} be {much more|far more|rather more} {recent|current|latest} as {vehicles|automobiles|autos} have {changed|modified} {substantially|considerably} {in the past|prior to now|up to now} 35 years. I would {investigate|examine} heavy {duty|obligation|responsibility} shock absorbers {and perhaps|and maybe} some air {bags|luggage|baggage} {to keep|to maintain} the {car|automotive|automobile} {level|degree|stage}. Mike, {when you|whenever you|if you} {check|examine|verify} your WD bars, {look for|search for} that {82|eighty two} {degree|diploma} angle I {show|present} on my pic from the centerline of the trunnion lugs to {the center|the middle} of the WD bar. Up {should|ought to} {allow|permit|enable} the angle to go down hill when the WD bar is {installed|put in}. If not, {that is a|that {may be|could {also|additionally} be} a|that {could be|might be|could {possibly|probably|presumably} be} a} {big|huge|massive} {part of|a {part|half} of} {the problem|the issue}. Yes {in this|on this} configuration you {only|solely} have 1 {hole|gap} to {lower|decrease} {the head|the top|the pinnacle}.

How To Use Example Given In A Sentence

On a sheet of paper, write a paragraph on a topic of your choice. Be sure to include a topic sentence, supporting sentences, and a concluding sentence and to use transitional words and phrases to link your ideas together. Mind your commas and semicolons, and don't use any punctuation after "however" when you use it to mean "in whatever manner," "to whatever extent," or "no matter how." Is generally used in reference books or similar works, page numbers are not included after it. The reader is expected to know how to locate this information without further assistance. A comma marks a slight break between different parts of a sentence.

Used properly, commas make the meaning of sentences clear by grouping and separating words, phrases, and clauses. Many people are uncertain about the use of commas, though, and often sprinkle them throughout their writing without knowing the basic rules. Parentheses also signify a break in thought, but they mark an addition of information rather than an interruption like dashes do.

Rather than a surprise , parentheses are a gentler insertion in your sentence. Also like dashes, parentheses should be used sparingly. Too many can break the clarity and flow of your ideas. Another thing to keep in mind is that they are often seen as casual in tone, so make sure they are appropriate for the style of writing you are using.

If not, punctuation marks such as commas are often more academically appropriate. Pick up any newspaper or magazine and read the first sentence of an article. Are you fairly confident that you know what the rest of the article is about? If so, you have likely read the topic sentence.

An effective topic sentence combines a main idea with the writer's personal attitude or opinion. It serves to orient the reader and provides an indication of what will follow in the rest of the paragraph. One answer to this important question may be "long enough"—long enough for you to address your points and explain your main idea. To grab attention or to present succinct supporting ideas, a paragraph can be fairly short and consist of two to three sentences. A paragraph in a complex essay about some abstract point in philosophy or archaeology can be two-thirds of a page or more in length.

As long as the writer maintains close focus on the topic and does not ramble, a long paragraph is acceptable. In general, try to keep the paragraphs longer than one sentence but shorter than two-thirds of a page of double spaced text, or roughly 75 to 200 words in length. In general, if you use e.g., you should provide one or two short examples. More can be used, but only if they are simple and can be expressed in a single word or short phrase. It isn't necessary to use etc. at the end of a list following e.g.; it's understood that there are more examples than those that you've given. You should not list all of the possible examples.

We see them often in text, usually in parentheses, and we can usually figure out the context from the text before them, but what do those letters mean? Both of these abbreviations are commonly used at the beginning of nonrestrictive elements that are enclosed in either commas or parentheses. Most style guides suggest the use of a comma after both e.g. and i.e. Even though it's not wrong to start a sentence with "however," sometimes it's still a good idea to avoid it because a lot of people think it's wrong.

I don't advise starting a sentence with "however" in a cover letter for a job application, for example. You don't want your resume to get dumped because someone thinks you've made a mistake when you really haven't. In your head, think of a way to reword the sentence to make it more interesting by using an action verb. Then look at how each sentence can be revised using an action verb.

Look at the following two passive voice sentences. For each sentence, note the noun in the subject position, the form of the verb "to be," the action verb, and the doer of the action. Imagine a world where all music was in a single monotone, all paintings were the same shade of green, and all dancing consisted of one slow dance step. Writing with only one kind of sentence style would fit nicely into that world.

In truth, music, art, and dance gain much beauty and interest from wide variation. You, as a writer, also have the option to vary your sentence style strategically. This chapter will help you vary sentence lengths and styles and choose when to write in active and passive voice. An em dash—inserted by typing Control+Alt+Minus between the words it separates—signals an abrupt break in thought.

It can be seen as "surprising" the reader with information. If used judiciously it can mark a longer, more dramatic pause and provide more emphasis than a comma can. If overused, it creates an impression of haste and carelessness and can diminish cohesion in your paragraphs. Think carefully before peppering your papers with them. Working in a group of four or five, assign each group member the task of collecting one document each.

These documents might include magazine or newspaper articles, workplace documents, academic essays, chapters from a reference book, film or book reviews, or any other type of writing. As a group, read through each document and discuss the author's purpose for writing. Use the information you have learned in this chapter to decide whether the main purpose is to summarize, analyze, synthesize, or evaluate.

Write a brief report on the purpose of each document, using supporting evidence from the text. The last sentence of this paragraph is the topic sentence. It draws on specific examples and then makes a general statement that draws a conclusion from these examples (animals' senses are better than humans'). In this case, the supporting sentences are placed before the topic sentence and the concluding sentence is the same as the topic sentence. You may find that a particular paragraph you write may be longer than one that will hold your audience's interest.

In such cases, you should divide the paragraph into two or more shorter paragraphs, adding a topic statement or some kind of transitional word or phrase at the start of the new paragraph. Transition words or phrases show the connection between the two ideas. For both students and professionals, clear communication is important. Whether you are typing an email or writing a report or essay, it is your responsibility as the writer to present your thoughts and ideas clearly and precisely. Writing in complete sentences is one way to ensure that you communicate well. This section covers how to recognize and write basic sentence structures and how to avoid some common writing errors.

Although no single sentence in this paragraph states the main idea, the entire paragraph focuses on one concept—that Luella is extremely old. The topic sentence is thus implied rather than stated. This technique is often used in descriptive or narrative writing. Implied topic sentences work well if the writer has a firm idea of what he or she intends to say in the paragraph and sticks to it.

However, a paragraph loses its effectiveness if an implied topic sentence is too subtle or the writer loses focus. Learning how to develop a good topic sentence is the first step toward writing a solid paragraph. Once you have composed your topic sentence, you have a guideline for the rest of the paragraph. To complete the paragraph, a writer must support the topic sentence with additional information and summarize the main point with a concluding sentence. Using the tips on developing effective topic sentences in this section, create a topic sentence on each of the following subjects.

Remember to include a controlling idea as well as a main idea. This topic sentence declares a favourable position for standardizing math and English education. If the purpose of the essay is actually to evaluate education in only one particular province or to discuss math or English education specifically, then the topic sentence is misleading. Material from a source, restate the information from an entire sentence or passage in your own words, using your own original sentence structure.

A paraphrased source differs from a summarized source in that you focus on restating the ideas, not condensing them. Again, it is important to check your paraphrase against the source material to make sure it is both accurate and original. Inexperienced writers sometimes use the thesaurus method of paraphrasing; that is, they simply rewrite the source material, replacing most of the words with synonyms. A true paraphrase restates ideas using the writer's own language and style. All complete sentences have at least one independent clause.

You can identify an independent clause by reading it on its own and looking for the subject and the verb. Like sic, passim is not an abbreviation, but it is included here as a Latin term commonly used to save space in bibliographic entries. Use this abbreviation in informal documents or as shorthand. You may put "i.e." in a sentence if you are writing an email or a letter to a friend, an informal piece of writing for a class, or a quick business note. If you are writing a formal business document or an academic paper, consider using "that is" or "in other words" instead.

How To Use Example In A Sentence Some abbreviations are used to give strength to an idea without taking up too much space or diverting the focus of the readers of your main point. These can be seen in legal papers and scientific dissertations. Two sentences become a sentence, using transitions words or phrases that link sentences and paragraphs together smoothly so that there are no abrupt jumps or breaks between ideas.

Here is a list of some common transition word that can be helpful for writer to use the word to link two sentences. You put a semicolon before other conjunctive adverbs when they connect main clauses too. For example, you'd put a semicolon before the words "consequently," "moreover," "nevertheless," "still," and "therefore" in similar sentences. The simplest definition of a noun is a thing and nouns are the basic building blocks of sentences.

These things can represent a person, animal, place, idea, emotion – almost any thing that you can think of. Dog, Sam, love, phone, Chicago, courage and spaceship are all nouns. The more nouns you know in a language, the better you will be able to communicate your ideas.

Here, we'll take a closer look at what makes a noun a noun, and we'll provide some examples of how nouns are used. Use a semicolon between two independent clauses that are connected by conjunctive adverbs or transitional phrases. Pay attention to material you read over one week. From the things you read, collect at least ten examples of sentences written in passive voice. Take the sentences you collected and rewrite them in the active voice.

Using action verbs without the verb "to be" creates stronger, active voice sentences. Even though the passive voice might include an action verb, the strength of the action verb is lessened by the structure of the sentence. Also, the passive voice tends to create unnecessary wordiness.

Read the following sentences and think of a way to reword each using an action verb in active voice. Then study the suggested revision in each case. Overuse of such verbs results in dull writing. When a foreign phrase becomes part of another language, speakers of that language don't always know exactly how to pronounce it. Or they might have trouble with the foreign pronunciation.

The et of et cetera has a final T sound, but some Americans substitute a K sound. This kind of mispronunciation is called assimilation. If you are aware of it, you can avoid making the same mistake and also recognize the phrase even when you hear it mispronounced. Native speakers also extend the meaning of certain foreign phrases beyond their definition in the original language. Et cetera often appears when someone finds a list tedious or obvious.

They might utter it in a tired tone or say the phrase rapidly. As a group, identify the weakest areas of the paragraph and rewrite them. Focus on the relationship between the topic sentence, supporting sentences, and concluding sentence. Use transitions to illustrate the connection between each sentence in the paragraph.

Create a topic sentence based on the topic you chose, remembering to include both a main idea and a controlling idea. Next, write an alternative topic sentence using the same main idea but a different controlling idea. Each of the following sentences in the paragraph supports the topic sentence by providing further information about a specific reality television show. The final sentence is the concluding sentence.

It reiterates the main point that viewers are bored with reality television shows by using different words from the topic sentence. Although the main idea—marijuana—is the same in all three topic sentences, the controlling idea differs depending on the writer's viewpoint. The foundation of a good paragraph is the topic sentence, which expresses the main idea of the paragraph.

The topic sentence relates to the thesis, or main point, of the essay and guides the reader by signposting what the paragraph is about. All the sentences in the rest of the paragraph should relate to the topic sentence. In his draft, Jorge frequently paraphrased details from sources.
