How It Works

Official prose often uses denser genitive phrases, autonomous verbs and nominal expressions. Teach the structure without treating everyday alternatives as incorrect.

Official prose often foregrounds a process or requirement rather than its actor. Autonomous verbs and compact noun phrases can serve that purpose. The examples preserve who is responsible when the sentence names them; formal style is not a reason to make agency or obligations unclear.
