THE WRITING BOOK for M S

c. 
Each draft must show improvement and change not just be a re-copying. 
Exact Recopies are cheating yourself and your grade.
 
12. THERE SHOULD BE NO SECOND PERSON AT ALL (NO YOU’S, YOUR, YOURS, 
YOU’RE)!! If the paper is about you personally, use 1
st
 person pronouns. If it relates to 
many people, use 3
rd
 person pronouns. See the “Correct Person Chart” in your Writing 
Packet—page _61_. 
 
13. 
DO NOT BEGIN YOUR SENTENTCES WITH “AND,” “BUT,” “LIKE” OR 
RUN 
your sentences together. Each and every part of the Paragraph is and individual 
sentence with one exception—your example sentences
MUST BE 2 OR MORE 
SENTENCES LONG.
14. Whenever you begin your sentences with words like “if,” “when,” “after,” 
“before,” “while,” “since,” “even though,” “even if,” “whenever,” “because,” or 
“although,” a comma must go before the next subject/ independent clause. 
a. 
(Ex.) For example, whenever I turn on my radio, I always have some new 
station playing on it every day.
i. 
The true sentence begins after the transition, so if there is a 
subordinating conjunction after the transition, there is a comma before 
the independent clause (**NOTE: See page 58)
15. Typing: you must have 1.25” margin on left/right, and 1” on top/bottom. Use 10-12 font 
Times New Roman. Your Name, Date, and Period Go in the upper right hand corner. You 
skip ONE line and center your INTERESTING Title. Then skip another line and start your 
paragraph. Remember that your first line (TS) is ALWAYS indented; use 1 side of the paper. 
16. Make sure you space before each ( ) and after each ( ). Always put a space after any 
punctuation mark and remember that a period goes before every ( ) except the (TS).
