One of the recent questions that have been addressed to us relates to the quality of our work that presents brevity. For instance, the statement "He is drinking at home which is not his usual behavior. He usually drinks at a bar", is too long. This can be expressed in another way, simple and short: "He is drinking at home tonight, not at a bar". The message still retains the thought that the man is drinking in his house, which is a temporary change from his usual routine of drinking at a bar. The first part of the sentence, which is the independent clause, is separated by a comma from the dependent clause to avoid ambiguity. This way, the oddity of the man being at home is emphasized by the adverb "tonight", which supports the dependent clause.

Another question is about the clarity of a sentence with reference to the use of adverbs, a part of speech that describes or modifies a verb, an adjective, another adverb, clause, or sentence. Adverbs answer the questions "How?", "When?", "Where?", "Why?", "In what way?", "How much?", "How often?", "Under what condition", "To what degree?"

For example, the sentence "I wish it rained" does not need an adverb of time to indicate the desire to "rain" at this moment. It is wrong to say "I wish it rained very much now" because the word "now" is an adverb of time, present time; "now" is not in conjunction with the verb "rained", which is a past participle of the word "rain". The adverb must agree with the time that the action or verb is taking place, so the right sentences are as follows: I wish it is raining now; I wish it does not rain now; I wish she will come to my birthday tomorrow; I wish they are sleeping now.

Past Tense	Present Tense	Future Tense
I wish it rained yesterday.	I wish it is raining now.	I wish it will rain tomorrow.
I wish she was at my birthday yesterday.	I wish she is at my birthday.	I wish she will come to my birthday tomorrow.
I wish they already slept.	I wish they are sleeping now.	I wish they will sleep later.
