Your tutor may be trying to help you to improve the structure of your writing. Often in this situation students are writing in very long sentences, or not grouping topic appropriately within a paragraph.

Answer

Context

Feedback about sentence structure and length are often to do with incorrect use of punctuation, but can also be about proof reading. Whereas lack of clarity in your paragraphs can often be about how you are planning your essay structure. Ask yourself the following questions; do I have a clear point in each paragraph? Are my paragraphs very long?
