Like, never end a sentence with a preposition.<BR/>But I will start a sentence with but, because, or and. Sometimes it just flows better.<BR/>Personally, I think your subject and writing style are the things that should dictate the extent to which you follow the rules. Is it formal or casual?

Who wants to read the same formulaic novel over and over again? Not me.<BR/><BR/>I think that the rules are great, and helpful, but I wouldn't necessarily follow them because somebody said I should. Sooner or later readers will get tired of these books, and the rules will change again. As for me, I may not "break" the rules, but I certainly will bend them a little.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15982825577207265863noreply@blogger.com
