Hi everyone! Dr. Nanhee Byrnes here. Today, I want to share one of my favorite writing tips that can truly elevate your TOEFL essay: the strategic use of participle phrases. I've noticed that many students tend to connect ideas using the word "and." While this conjunction is perfectly fine when used occasionally, overusing "and" can make your writing sound repetitive, choppy, and lacking the grammatical sophistication needed for a high-scoring TOEFL essay. Today, I will show you how to upgrade your sentence structure using participle phrases. [Advertisement] Are you aiming for a 26 or higher in TOEFL Writing but don’t know how?
