introducing examples

For example is a good term to make your essay dotted with concrete information. However, overuse of for example makes you sound a bit dry as a writer. In this article, I will show you alternative ways to insert examples into your sentences.

Take THE EXAMPLE as an example.

One thing you should be aware of is that the expression above is a complete sentence. Therefore, after typing that into your computer, please put a period instead of a comma.

such as EXAMPLE, EXAMPLE, and EXAMPLE

"such as" should immediately follow the concept that it expands on.

including EXAMPLE, EXAMPLE, and EXAMPLE

usually, "including" is separated from the previous concept by a comma.

from EXAMPLE to EXAMPLE

If the concept you want to explain is very broad, then the expression above really fits.

(e.g., EXAMPLE)

This is what academic nerds would use in their academic paper. Usually it is parenthesized. Don't forget the comma after e.g.

To be specific, EXAMPLE / To explain further, EXAMPLE / As a case in point, EXAMPLE.
