Real next step
What to expand—and what to leave out
Use these checks before adding sentences. Useful expansion closes a reader’s gap; weak expansion only increases the word count.
Add explanation after a claim
Clarify why the claim matters, how it follows from the previous point, or what consequence the reader should understand.
Give evidence enough context
Introduce the source, explain what the evidence shows, and connect it back to the paragraph’s purpose.
Repair a missing connection
Add a transition when the reader needs help seeing how one idea leads to the next—not between every sentence.
Remove repeated wording
If a new sentence restates the same idea without adding reasoning, evidence, or context, it probably does not belong.
