Identifying Basic Grammar Patterns

In this blog post I have provided a link that will take you to my longest paragraph from my QRG. In this paragraph I have identified many different grammatical elements as referenced throughout the Rules for Writers section on "Grammar Basics".

My longest paragraph can be found here.

After completing this activity I noticed that I have a tendency to write very long sentences. Majority of the longer sentences were the combinations of numerous subordinate clauses. I would like to focus more on creating shorter sentences, and varying the purposes and patterns of my sentences. As it stands, they are all fairly predictable and could use some major reinventing.
