When our writing is clear, our meaning is clear. When our writing is unclear, our meaning is muddled. And when our meaning is muddled, our readers can\u2019t properly engage with our work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately, you can improve the clarity of your writing by brushing up on a few key fundamentals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This article contains four key tips and some examples of clarity in writing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"How-To-Improve-The-Clarity-Of-Your-Writing\">How To Improve The Clarity Of Your Writing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Clarity starts at the sentence level. Think about your sentences as mini movies that your readers play in their heads. They need to know the actors and the actions of these mini movies to correctly picture what\u2019s going on. If your writing is unclear at the sentence level, your readers won\u2019t understand what\u2019s happening in your work. Worse yet, they may disengage from your writing because they can\u2019t understand it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We start by thinking about clarity at the sentence level because if your sentences aren\u2019t clear, your paragraphs won\u2019t be clear. If your paragraphs aren\u2019t clear, the rest of your work won\u2019t be clear.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unsure about how to ensure your sentences are clear and easy to read? Not to worry. Let\u2019s take a look at four easy ways to improve sentence level clarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Reduce-Sticky-Sentences\"><strong>1. Reduce Sticky Sentences<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two types of words in sentences: working words, which convey meaning to the reader and are essential to the purpose of the sentence, and glue words, which are the extra words that hold sentences together.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Glue words aren\u2019t essential to the meaning of your sentence. They\u2019re not the actors or the actions. If you remove or rewrite your sentence to eliminate these glue words, the sentence will have the same meaning. It may even be more clear for your readers to understand.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sticky sentences are sentences that contain too many glue words. They should be rewritten to improve clarity for your readers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>While glue words are important to make your sentence coherent, when you have too many in a sentence, it becomes hard to read. By removing unnecessary glue words, your sentence becomes clearer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider the following:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>It doesn\u2019t matter what kind of coffee I buy, where it\u2019s from, or if it\u2019s organic or not\u2014I need to have cream because I really don\u2019t like how the bitterness makes me feel.<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>I add cream to my coffee because the bitter taste makes me feel unwell.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Each sentence has the same main idea: that the narrator can\u2019t drink coffee because it makes him or her feel sick. However, the second sentence is clearer and easier to read than the first because it has fewer glue words. The meaning isn\u2019t obscured by extra words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should aim for an average of less than 40% glue words in your sentences. That doesn\u2019t mean that all of your sentences have less than 40% glue words. Some may have 50%, some may have 30%. As long as your document averages at 40% glue words, your work will be clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is also important to consider when <a href=\"https:\/\/jerichowriters.com\/good-opening-sentences\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">writing a great opening sentence<\/a> for your novel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Avoid-Clich\u00e9s\"><strong>2.&nbsp;Avoid Clich\u00e9s<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Clich\u00e9s are phrases like&nbsp;<em>actions speak louder&nbsp;than words,&nbsp;love is blind,<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>the grass is always greener on the other side<\/em><em>.<\/em>&nbsp;Many writers use clich\u00e9s when they\u2019re trying to sound relatable or to make their writing more accessible. Unfortunately, clich\u00e9s often do the opposite: alienate readers that aren\u2019t familiar with the phrase or do not understand it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though these expressions are older than dirt (see what I did there?), when isolated, their meaning isn\u2019t clear. This reduces the chance that your audience will engage with your work, especially if your audience is made up of non-native speakers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When editing, aim to remove phrases that aren\u2019t universal or don\u2019t translate well into a different language. That way, your work is accessible to everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jerichowriters.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/clarity.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-443934\" width=\"833\" height=\"450\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Make-Your-Subjects-And-Verbs-Shine-With-Active-Voice\"><strong>3. Make Your Subjects And Verbs Shine With Active Voice<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When your sentence is in the active voice, your subjects and verbs are clear. When it\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/jerichowriters.com\/how-to-eliminate-passive-voice-from-your-writing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">in passive voice<\/a>, your subject is unclear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s an example of passive voice:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The sample was selected.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Who is selecting the sample? We\u2019re not sure, because the sentence doesn\u2019t say so. Passive voice leaves your sentence open for interpretation by the reader, especially when it\u2019s uncertain who or what is performing the action in the sentence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider the same sentence in active voice:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Researchers selected the sample.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, the subject is clear. Readers won\u2019t need to think very hard to understand this sentence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a few types of writing where passive voice has its place, but typically, active voice is better. While passive voice isn\u2019t technically wrong, it can make your writing harder to understand, which, in turn, makes it less engaging.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Use-Precise-Words\"><strong>4. Use Precise Words<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Adverbs are words that add colour or style to your adjectives and<a href=\"https:\/\/jerichowriters.com\/vivid-verbs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> verbs<\/a>. Like passive voice, adverbs aren\u2019t grammatically incorrect, but they can reduce clarity because they prop up boring, imprecise verbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><em>Scarlett ran really fast.<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><em>Scarlett sprinted.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In the first example, the word \u201creally\u201d is an adverb that modifies \u201cfast,\u201d which is itself an adverb that modifies the verb \u201cran.\u201d The word choice in the second sentence, \u201csprinted,\u201d is more precise. Replacing adverb + verb constructions with a precise strong verb will paint a clear picture for your reader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Common adverbs that are guilty of propping up weak word choices include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>really<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>just<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>very<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>actually<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>in order to<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>definitely<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>absolutely<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you see these words in your writing, you can likely improve your clarity by cutting them and choosing a more specific&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/jerichowriters.com\/how-to-write\/vivid-verbs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">verb<\/a>&nbsp;or adjective in your sentence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Do-You-Want-Help-From-Prowritingaid\">Do You Want Help From Prowritingaid?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Wondering how you can easily improve the clarity of your writing?
