A: This website gives a nice explanation of e-prime. Start with trying to write in E-Prime.

My list of disallowed and allowed words:

DISALLOWED WORDS

be; being; been; am; is; isn’t; are; aren’t; was; wasn’t; were; weren’t;

Contractions formed from a pronoun and a form of to be:

I’m; you’re; we’re; they’re; he’s; she’s; it’s; there’s; here’s; where’s; how’s; what’s; who’s; that’s;

ALLOWED WORDS

The following words, do not derive from forms of to be. Some of these serve similar grammatical functions (see auxiliary verbs).

become; has; have; having; had (I’ve; you’ve); do; does; doing; did; can; could; will; would (they’d); shall; should; ought; may; might; must; remain; equal.
