Day 168: Avoid using there as a subject.
The word there is often used as a subject. In nearly every case, this makes the writing wordy and loose. Consider these sentences.
“There is a reason for this. The reason is that the prisoners are too crowded.”“There is a season for every action.”
“There is a book titled Living Large that explains this goal.”
When sentences start with there, the writer needs many extra words to explain the idea. By revising the sentences to avoid using there as a subject, the sentences become more concise and direct, thus expressing the idea more clearly and persuasively.
By revising the sample sentences, we get the following revisions.
“The reason for this is that the prisons are too crowded.”“Every action has a season.”
“The book Living Large explains this goal.”
