Word order can be fixed by correcting wordy sentences. The meaning of a wordy sentence can be said in fewer words. Here are a few ways to help fix wordy sentences:

  • Eliminate Redundancies
    Do not say the same thing twice!

  • Avoid unnecessary repetition of words.

  • Cut out empty or inflated phrases.

  • Simplify the structure.

  • Make a clause a phrase, and a phrase a single word.
