Creating a logical structure to one’s paper is what organizing a paper or report means.  Poor organization is perhaps the biggest complaint among critics of papers and reports.  Poor organization can lead to reader confusion, and will likely result in the paper remaining unread.

We’re going to briefly examine what a sentence is exactly, and how it comes in different forms.  Our first type of sentence is what is known as a simple sentence.  This sentence contains one clause and one clause only, which can include only one word, such as “Go!”  It would be a mistake to assume, however, that a simple sentence can’t be a long sentence.  One can’t tell a compound s
