There are several rules that I follow correctly the majority of the time. The first one being # 20, keep related words together. I have always done a good job of keeping the main subject and the principal verb together, knowing that any other phrase or clause would need to be at the beginning of the sentence.
The last English class I took emphaised writting in positive form as #15 states. I had always done a fairly fine job of this but did learn how to polish that skill during the semester.
There is definite room for improvement as it pertains to #21, In summaries, keep to one tense. I am guilty of overusing the expressions, "he said," "she stated," etc. After reading this rule, I see that I waste words in repeating the notification when summarizing.
After reading all of these rules, I have more ideas on what to look for in my writting and what do take out.
