Violations of sentence principles

0 Hi, 02br
02br
00My name is Peter and I'm a new user to the forum. If it wont be to much trouble to ask for, I need little help with an online English course I'm taking. 02br
02br
00The books that came along with the course, the once that are at my disposal, are not adequate enough and dont fully explain what I'm asked to solve. In this particular case they dont even have the subject let alone give me any guidelines or examples to follow as to approach these types questions. I tried looking for the rules through google and yahoo searches, however the only good thing that came out of those was a link to this forum. 02br
00I'm going to meet these in my exams in the very near future so I realy need to know how to tell one from another. I'm defiantly not expecting anyone to solve my work for me, just looking for someone to please explain how I can recognize one sentence rule from another. 02br
02br
02br
00My herculean problem; 02br
00I'm given a sentence ( several actualy) and I'm asked which principle does it violate. 02br
02br
00Principles: 02br
00clarity, correctness, courtesy, conciseness or completeness 02br
02br
00This is one of the sentences as an example. 02br
00Let's get together one of these days and talk about some of your complaints. 02br
02br
02br
00If you have the time and understand this please help me, Thank you. 02br

0 Hello Peter, 02br 02br 00I can see why you find this difficult as I cannot see that this sentence really breaks any of those principles, unless 'one of these days' is taken to be unneccessary and so inconcise? 02br 02br 00Do you understand what each of the principles means? 02br 02br 00Clarity - is it easy to understand?

  • 02br 00Correctness - grammar, spelling and so on 02br 00Courtesy - is it phrased politely?
  • 02br 00Conciseness - are all the words necessary, no repetition, not too complex or too much information for one sentence?
