Identifying Basic Grammar Patterns

While writing, especially under a deadline, it is hard to assess your own grammar and sentence structuring/patterns. Most people, while revising, try to focus on big-picture changes and content, rather than the quality of their writing. In this activity I attempted to use what "Rules for Writers: Seventh Edition" had to say about grammar patterns to assess a paragraph in my QRG.

I definitely discovered that I don't pay much attention to sentence structures in my writing. Complex, compound, simple? Those are the last pieces of my writing that I think of focusing on. I learned that this may hinder my writing, and that it would be beneficial to look over my sentence patterns, types, and purposes, in order to get a better variety in my writing and its structure.
