sentence

Hi

Please tell me if these are OK.

Context: It is the answer to the question"Do you need another essay?"

"Yes, I would like to have another essay; it would be helpful." "Yes, I would like to have another essay, for it would be helpful."

I think the sentences are grammatical, but is it OK to split them here?
Yes, I would like to have another essay. It would be helpful.

" vsuresh Yes, I would like to have another essay. It would be helpful. These two are OK, provided that "I would like to have another essay" fits the context.

Thank you for your comments.
I will tell you about this one: I would like to have another one, for it would be helpful.

The student is telling the teacher that she would find it helpful if she was given another essay.

Now, what do you think about it?

vsureshNow, what do you think about it?
It sounds very formal and old-fashioned. Very few people use 'for' in that sense.
