How to present a numbered list in a sentence

There are several ways to give an enumerated (numbered) list in sentence form. One way is to put the number (not the number word) in parentheses, like this:

I came up with three reasons: (1) this is my first reason, (2) this is my second reason, and (3) this is my third reason.

Notice that the numbers are inside a pair of parentheses. It is not considered correct to use just one parenthesis after the number. If the introduction of the reasons is not a complete sentence, do not use a colon to introduce the list. Instead, do this:

My reasons are (1) this is my first reason, (2) this is my second reason, and (3) this is my third reason.

If the text of any of the reasons contains a comma, then you use semicolons between the items—but if that happens, you should consider making it a vertical list, like this:

I came up with three reasons:
1. This is my first reason, which contains a comma.
2. This is my second reason.
3. This is my third reason.

Another way to list reasons would be in separate sentences, using the ordinal forms of the number words, like this:

I came up with three reasons. First, this is my first reason. Second, this is my second reason. Third, this is my third reason.

Combining these into one big sentence with semicolons is not recommended, because if you are putting an enumerated list into one sentence, you use the numbers in parentheses as in my first example.

You can, of course, choose to use letters instead of numbers in all but the last situation.

Writing takes up quite a bit of time. If you have to send out many emails, reports, or other correspondences, you want them to be accurate and well written, but you don't want to spend your whole day going over everything, looking for corrections. fix my sentence generator

Gardenscapes follows the basic rules and physics of match-3 games, so you'll need to bring three identical blocks in a row to "pop" them. You can acquire power-ups like rockets, explosives, TNT, and rainbow bursts by matching four or more identical blocks. As you complete more stages, the game will introduce new blocks or mechanics that will make it increasingly difficult to meet all of the requirements. Acorns, chains, and water holes are just a few examples. share link
