You can improve your language and style by using various grammatical structures, e.g. structures that help you to create complex sentences instead of simple sentences. Here are a few tips:

• relative clauses to connect sentences (who/whom/whose, which, that)
• participle clauses (e.g.: When she reads a book Reading a book, she forgets everything around her.)
• gerunds (e.g.: He remembers how his mother cooked his favourite dishes his mother cooking his favourite dishes.)
• if-clauses (e.g.: If she had known, she could have helped.)

• linking phrases/connectors to structure your text and to link paragraphs/sentences (e.g.: First, / Second, … etc.; Furthermore, … / Moreover, …; check Flinders University help sheet
