What to notice in the examples
Effective sentence endings complete the grammar cleanly and place important information where it has natural emphasis, while avoiding weak trailing phrases, accidental ambiguity, or details that belong in a separate sentence.
- Identify the grammatical job sentence ending is doing in the sentence rather than judging it by appearance alone.
- Check the words immediately around the sentence ending for agreement, punctuation, attachment, or boundary clues that determine whether the construction is correct.
- Read the complete sentence for clarity and rhythm after editing the sentence ending, because a technically valid form can still be awkward or ambiguous.
