Long sentences are generally more difficult to understand than short ones.

This is because the longer the sentence, the greater the probability that the subject and verb will diverge, or that the sentence contains so much information that the reader will not grasp the important material.

The optimal number of sentences for a paragraph is between 10 and 11.

The punctuation and capitalization are very important
in the paragraphs and each of their parts and sentences
since with their use it is understood in a better way that is being implied and there are n mistakes due to a bad spelling that can lead to read or understand a paragraph differently.

Punctuation: Punctuation helps convey the precise meaning
of the sentence, and in fact can even change the meaning, as this well-known example:
A woman, without her man, is nothing
A woman: without her, man is nothing
The punctuation that we use is: comma, semi-colon, colon, end punctuation, parentheses, dash, quotation marks, apostrophe.

Capitalization: Like punctuation, capitalization helps convey information. The first word of every sentence is capitalized, signaling that a new sentence has begun.
