Strategy #1: Read your work aloud, preferably with another person.

Strategy #2: Proof & Line Edit by making multiple passes of the draft–each pass with a different focus in mind for each pass (i.e. pass #1: Run-on sentences, pass #2: commas).

Strategy #3: If a sentence is confusing, try to find a way to shorten it.

Strategy #4: If a sentence seems overly wordy, find the main subject, verb and object of the sentence and rewrite it, starting with the subject and keeping the subject, verb, object as close together as possible.

Strategy 1: Look at the essay from perspectives other than reading it yourself, as you are used to how it is written already. It is easier to spot errors or create room for improvement if someone else listens to your essay being read aloud, not knowing anything about it.

Strategy 2: Don't understand

Strategy 3: Typically, confusing or overwhelming sentences are really long, with some unnecessary segments in it. Finding a way to remove those can make it easier to understand.

Strategy 4: Don't understand

sometimes as we write we do it just to get all your ideas out and most times their are grammar errors and sound confusing so strategy one could be helpful to revise.
i dont understand
Strategy 3 is helpful because sometimes we go on tangents and although they relate to the writing piece long sentences can uninterest your audience.
