Introduction

It is important to leave an impact in one's writing since readers generally pick an author based on the consistency and clarity of their views. A piece of writing that uses the wrong tense, mood, voice, or abruptly switches points of view will be confusing and distracting to the reader. A piece of writing with good logical flow moves smoothly from one idea to the next, from one phrase to the next, and from one paragraph to the next. The use of a comparison in writing may make the piece more intriguing and creative, but only if the writer has the insight to employ the comparison effectively. Especially when comparing many things, which might lead to uncertainty, doing so will confuse and distract your readers. As a result, understanding it is crucial for writing, as no author wants the reader to misconstrue his or her intentions or lose interest.

Components of a Sentence

Logical Sentence

The term "logical" refers to a way of thinking that is reasonable, predictable, and clever. Consistency in use of pronouns, attitudes, tenses, and linguistic use helps the argument flow logically. When a sentence lacks logic, it opens the door to several interpretations from the reader and the author. It can cause both the writer and the reader to get disoriented, casting doubt on the veracity of the writing. The guidelines for constructing a reasonable sentence are as follows.

1. Don’t support counter arguments and disagree with your own claims instead create space for improvement and defend it from the counter argument’s point of view.

2. Attention to switch in perspectives (point of view). Confusion will occur if a writing switch from third person perspective to first person.

3. Never have more than one name for the same thing such as item\place\names\things. Etc.

4. Proper tense throughout writing and consistent.

5. Using clear and specific pronouns, will avoid confusion. Name exactly who did that, to whom what happened, instead of mentioning vaguely.

6. It is necessary to keep sentences connected so readers understand points.

7. A connection between sentences can be attained through using transition words and short phrases, but only necessary not for all sentences.

8. Mostly avoid a sentence beginning with ‘And’ and ‘But’.

Comparisons

A writer can help the reader understand what they are reading by using comparison. Sharing one's passions and thoughts with others may be rewarding. Nevertheless, in contrast, there are many factors that might contribute to an incorrect assessment of responsibility. In contrast to other people's homes, mine is rather large. This comparison phrase is unclear and incorrect since the author may have meant to imply that the house in question is larger than average in the area or that it belongs to a specific person. Instead, using the term "other," which is broad and not particular, may lead to misunderstanding and misinterpretation among the reader. Remember that each comparison you make must have specifics in order to be meaningful. Learn some frequent errors made while doing comparisons and how to correct them here.

1. Unlogic errors: A comparison sentence should have things that are similar such as flower to flower, bird to bird but not flower to bird. Example: I love sunflowers more than tulips.

2. Superlatives, misused comparisons: ‘Better’, ‘best’, ‘good’... etc are superlatives.  These words would automatically compare two things in a sentence by using them. Example: Sneha dress looks better than mine.

3. Absence of comparisons: There are some cases where comparison sentences are incomplete since, writer made a mistake as he compared but did not make it out to pages. For example: “Many people prefer tea”. In this sentence there is no certain thing that tea is compared to what? It may be coffee, hot chocolate, anything it would be. So, it is necessary to complete the comparison between what and what. Now, the example sentence should be like: Many people prefer tea to coffee.

4. Obscure comparison errors: The sentence may look clear and correct but sometimes the reader may interpret differently. Example: Pradeep is more fond of his mother’s cat than his father. This comparison looks correct but it has two interpretations. That is, either it means Pradeep is fond of mother’s cat than to his father or he is fonder than his father to the cat. Reader might interpret one and the writer might have thought one.  So, it is necessary to be very clear about what needs to be said.

Conclusion

A writing with more logic and proper comparisons will attract more readers towards it. Basically, a reader needed a flow to jump deep in the writer’s thought and understand well. A bump, distraction, confusion, no flow will make readers lose interest. Logical sentences will be identified with proper tense, pronunciation, language usage, and good flow. Etc. Similarly comparison without error would surely bring enjoyment, a reading taste to the readers. Therefore, having knowledge on how to create logical sentences and avoid faulty comparison is very important for a writer.
