There are five good reasons to start a sentence with ‘There are”… but I just can’t think of them right now.

@ Janet – I agree, I still sometimes sneak one or two in where needed, but it was quite eye opening to see how often I really did use “that”.

Any indeterminate subject with a form of “to be” is a good target for rewriting:

* There is …
* This is …
* It is …

Be careful about omitting “that”, depending on your audience. For non-native speakers, it can be difficult to tell where a subordinate clause starts, if you leave out “that”.

Mike,

Yep. “That” is another one. The same prof used to circle it as well.

The other biggie is “to be” verbs — as, is, was, were, be, been, being (and others, I think!). Rooting those out is even harder.

When I first came out of grad school, I had perfect writing. I’m afraid I’m quite sloppy now — compared to how I used to write.

My “word” was – “that”.

It was pointed out to me how many times I used “that” ina paragraph. After it was pointed out to me I started catching myself and have now pretty much eliminated any unnecessary “that” from my writing.

Great post BTW, I just started reading you today.

Three cheers for this post! This is such practical advice — I can apply it *today*! As my colleague Robert recently wrote, “You want your marketing materials to carry a wallop, right? So don’t waste words.” He might add to the list of weakling words to watch out for:
- Situation
- Process
- Facility
