Dear Teacher,

I wrote a sentence is Somehow I believed that the postal service was
performed by the grace of the winds, so I went out onto the lawn with my grandmother to launch the letter to my father but now I want to split the sentence are Somehow I believed that the postal service was performed by the grace of the winds. So I went out onto the lawn with my grandmother to launch the letter to my father.

Please advise me and make correction if necessary.


With Regards!

I think it looks ok either way. If you want to split it into two sentences, what you have written is fine.

Thanks for your answer. Actullay according to the Gunning Fog Readability advice, documentation 10 and 15, and professional prose almost never exceeds 18 words.

Please your commend as advice.

Since what you have provided seems to be narrative, I do not see that your cited rules need apply.
