In ... It Sentence Structure

In ... It Sentence Structure

Don't use the "in...it" structure. Look at this example:

In "Morte d'Arthur" it states Sir Agravain and Sir Mordred were "...two unhappy knights."

The sentence is better if you write...

"Morte d'Arthur" states that Sir Agravain and Sir Mordred were "...two unhappy knights."

The revised sentence eliminates extra words and makes the sentence neater.
