Can texts have?

Hello. I want to say "Texts that have the IBC standard as their structure."
(IBC = Introduction-Body-Conclusion)

Is it odd?

I have thought about replacing "have" by "present", "display", "exhibit", but I feel that all of them are not natural.

Thank you!

Anonymous Is it odd? It certainly is if the reader does not know what you mean by 'IBC'. And I see no reason to use 'standard'—it is not any kind of official classification.

  • Moreover, by definition, introductions come first and conclusions come last.
  • Just write clearly: Texts with an introduction, body and conclusion.
