Do not leave any sentences incomplete. If you don’t know how to end a sentence, then don’t write anything at all. For example, do not write:
People work hard every day and are usually…
When a sentence is incomplete, it sends a very bad message to the reader—it signals that you lack the grammar and vocabulary to express your thoughts. There are two ways of avoiding this problem. First, you can eliminate the sentence entirely: don’t write anything! Second, you can simplify:
People work hard every day.
It’s true that the sentence above is not a brilliant display of academic writing; however, at least it is complete.
