Simplify your writing

Simplify your writing

Today we learn about how to use passive and active wordiness. Also we did twelve examples from the book.

Active   vs   Passive
Wordy         2nd,                   1st
Never use you, we use, we, us, ours.
They, them 3rd
Example:  The decayed tree had to be cut to prepare the backyard for the New Year party. (Passive)

                   The garner had to cut the decayed tree.  (Active)
