Grammar
Why in point form here and not there?
Hi,
I was looking at the speaking/writing objective section of the Arlington County Spanish Partial Immersion Program, which is developed/written by Arlington Public Schools, and saw some writing under the heading of "Component Descriptors."
There it had the following:
Uses fluent connected speech, occasionally disrupted by search for correct form of expression
Write some related sentences only, but without a clear central ideas
Now, my question is "Why it doesn't have articles (as it looks to me) in the first sentence, whereas there is articles in the second one?"
It looks to me that the second one should be "Uses fluent connect speech, occasionally disrupted by a search for the correct form of expression" if you want to follow the norm??.
Sorry if my question doesn't seem to be clearly stated or substantive in nature.

Hi, Uses fluent connected speech, occasionally disrupted by search for correct form of expression Write some related sentences only, but without a clear central ideas What you are looking at is written in point form. In point form, the rules of grammar are pretty lax. However, grammar should not be completely absent.

- In #2, the verb form should be 'Writes' and the article 'a' should not be used with the plural 'ideas'.
- In my personal experience, 'education administrators' often write rather poor English.

Great.
Would you say "pont form" and "bullet form" are synonymous? If not, please tell me the difference.

Hi again,
Would you say "point form" and "bullet form" are synonymous?
Generally speaking, yes. But 'bullets' are really just a graphic aid to make it easier to see and read the associated 'points'.
Best wishes, Clive
