In at least fifty words, explain how the use of various clause types can improve writing.

Grammar clauses can be used alone or in combination with other clauses or sentences. Words and phrases are the parts of language that make up clauses. Clauses can be used  to improve both writing and reading. if you can't distinguish between a phrase, a dependent clause, and an independent clause, you will have trouble with writing fragments instead of sentences. Sentence fragments are confusing for readers, because they do not make sense they are not full sentences. Sentence fragments don't contain any usable information and no subject or anything that would help a reader follow what the writer is trying to say. Sentence fragments look like sentences but they are not. So knowing how to use clauses helps to make writing more understandable.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
