How to Write Rhythmic Sentences

1. Put important ideas at the beginning or end of the sentence.

2. Use appositive or absolute phrases to add detail to the main ideas.

3. Use subordinate phrases and clauses for less important ideas.

4. Use parallel structure for similar ideas.

5. Take the time to write "crafted" sentences if your writing really matters. Crafted sentences make the difference between good and superior writing.
