Loose Sentence

A sentence that does not end with the completion of its main clause, but continues with one or more subordinate clauses or other modifiers.

It is also known as a Cumulative Sentence. Writers use these types of sentences when they want to put forth the main idea first, and provide details to elucidate the idea further thereafter. They use these details in the form of dependent or subordinate phrases or clauses.

These types of sentences work better in various forms of writing, specifically in explaining theories, by giving the main idea at the beginning, and then adding more information to build up the idea further.

“Llanblethian hangs pleasantly, with its white cottages, and orchard and other trees…” (The Life of John Sterling, by Thomas Carlyle) This is a good example of a loose sentence.

suicidal sentence

a person that is giving a sentence, say that they want to kill themselves or just being suicidal and expressing it too someone or in a book that contains suicidal sentences.

suicidal sentence is someone expressing themselves to someone else.

for example;

person: you can tell me. what happened?
you (anyone): i hate myself so much. i want too rip my heart out so I can no longer breathe. no one wants me here, Im worthless, I’m useless, I hate everyone, and everyone hates me. I wanna stab myself, I wanna shoot my brains out, everyone wants me dead, even my parents, siblings, my cousins, aunts, uncles, my friends, literally EVERYONE. I hate my life. I’m gonna kill myself.

person: I am so sorry (name), I don’t think your worthless at all, you are a wonderful human being, those people don’t deserve you, I’ll be with you whenever you need me, I swear, you are not worthless, no one is worthless, everyone is special in their own way, you shouldn’t say those things about yourself, you are very precious too me. I swear, I’ll always be on you side, even when you need me the most, it doesn’t matter what your in trouble for or whatever, but just know I’m always on your side :).

Run-on-sentence

A sentence that is excruciating long, as it goes on without a period. Not recommended by anyone, especially people who have to read what you wrote.

Person 1: So today I had this really weird experience where a random guy gave a hot dog to me and walked away, but then later he came back and wanted the hot dog back even though I just ate it, so he called the cops and pinned me to a lamppost but I escaped and told everyone on the next street that there was this lunatic with hot dogs and they should avoid that street but they thought I was a lunatic so they chased me around the city until I got on a train and rode to Oakland where some really buff dudes wanted my money for some reason so they chased me around the city until some cop cars ran them over, but the cops heard about me so they shot at me and I stole their guns and shot them in the face but then this lady heard me shoot them so I shot her and I started running and there were helicopters and explosions and I may have just taken out the entire police force of Oakland, and come to think of it, I did drop that nuke on Oakland so maybe everyone there is dead, what do you think?
Person 2: I'm calling the cops.
Person 1 then shoots Person 2 in the face.

i don't consent to being sentenced.

a very simple, yet MASSIVELY effective phrase that if said in court, will pardon you of any crime, whether it be rape, murder, or driving a car into a christmas parade!.

*this sentence was used in the darrell brooks sentencing trial that happened earlier today on 2022-11-16 and the live chat went crazy with the "lols" and the "lmao's". i thought it was pretty funny when he said that lol.

judge:for the crimes you have commited, such as rape, murder, trespassing, castration of the elderly i sentence you to 1000 yea-

defendant: i don't consent to being sentenced.
judge: oh, i guess you're free to go...the jury would like to thank the thing and people for their blah blah blah blah.

Old and Japanese.
Inadequate.
Low performer.
Pretends to corner well.
Not as torque-y as any Domestic competition, or even any Japanese competition.

Pathetic.
