Summary
Adding detail to sentences:
Using only simple sentences in your writing can
make your writing dull and colourless.
Varying the length of your sentences by also using
compound and complex sentences will keep your
reader interested, involved and wanting to read
more.
Making good use of adjectives and adverbs also will
add detail and interest to your writing.
