If prepositional phrases are not placed next to the word they modify, Mayday!
(178).
When a prepositional phrase kicks off a sentence, it is usually followed by a
comma (170).
But words, phrases, and clauses all work together toward the same end: to
keep sentences as simple and clear as possible (174).
Writers careless with phrases can create havoc in all kinds of ways (179).
Writers careless with phrases can create havoc in all kinds of ways (179).
