Conditional and Passive Language

Conditionals and Other Evasives

Common conditionals are

· Would

· Should

· Could

· “Can be”

· “Might be”

· “May be”

Imagine you’re a highly paid professional analyst. The client wants, and has paid well for, your assertive professional recommendation. Using conditional language in such a setting is frequently viewed as evasive. Passive voice and anthropomorphizing are two related culprits. “I believe”, while not technically a conditional, is another non-assertive phrase I often see.

Now, it’s a natural human tendency to try to shirk blame for a wrong answer. But, the “wrongest” answer you can give is no answer. And, evading the question is just that – no answer at all.

I think you’ve all seen me marking the conditionals in your essays by now. So, I wanted to post this more formal explanation of it. I argue that these essays will be better with absolutely no conditionals in them at all. So, you’re safest to just eliminate them.

Here are some sample translations to preferable language:
