English Language & Usage Asked on August 4, 2021
I’m currently writing a statement of purpose and had a question.
What I want to write is something like:
My past research experience has ranged from creating X, to doing something with Y, and finally to doing Z1 and Z2.
The reason why this sounds a little awkward to me is because normally when I hear the phrase "range from A to B" I think of a starting and ending point without any stops in between. In this particular case, I’d like to include the intermediate information but also give it a sequential feel.
Is the way that I wrote fine, or is there a better (or perhaps correct) way to write it? Thanks.
If you want it to be sequential, I would say something like “has gone from creating X to doing something with Y to finally doing Z1 and Z2.” You don’t need commas with a “from... to... to...” format, so if you keep your original sentence you should delete the first comma.
