    I am confused that if the hedging words will make our article less persuasive and make my stance less steady?

    Thanks.

      Hi Eitan and thanks for your message.
      I understand why you might think this, but I hope you can see from the examples in the article, that hedging simply allows you to be more cautious with making claims that may be opinion or may not have any evidence to support them.

    Hey Fiona,

    I am confused about a sentence given in this website. It would be great if you could just help me out with it.

    Video games make (makes)people violent
    Just wanted to confirm which one is the right.

      Hi Alphonsa! Thank you so much – it was a typo! Please don’t hesitate to let me know if you find any typos. Sometimes I just don’t see them. All the best with your studies!
      Best wishes and thanks again,
      Fiona

      Hello Alphonso right sentence is video games make people violent(Because here you use plural form and with plural form( video games) so plural verb should be in sentence). If I am wrong then please clarify

        Hi Alphonsa
        Yes, ‘video games’ is plural so I use the plural form ‘video games make people violent’,
        Best wishes
