General introduction
What is ASD?
The AeroSpace and Defence Industries Association of Europe, ASD, represents the aeronautics,
space, defense and security industries in Europe in all matters of common interest with the
objective of promoting and supporting the competitive development of the sector. ASD pursues
joint industry actions which must be dealt with on a European level or which concern issues of an
agreed transnational nature, and generates common industry positions.
ASD has 28 member associations in 20 countries across Europe. In 2011 over 2000 aeronautics,
space and defense companies in these countries employed more than 730,000 people and
generated a turnover of almost €171.5 billion. The ASD Secretariat is based in Brussels with an
office in Paris.
Why was ASD Simplified Technical English developed?

English is the international language of the aerospace industry. However, it is often not the native
language of the readers of technical documentation. Many readers have knowledge of English that
is limited. Complex sentence structures, and the number of meanings and synonyms that many
English words have, can cause confusion to these readers.
In the late 1970s, the Association of European Airlines (AEA) asked the European Association of
Aerospace Industries (AECMA, now ASD) to investigate the readability of maintenance
documentation in the civilian aircraft industry. AECMA asked the Aerospace Industries Association
(AIA) of America to assist in this project. The resulting project groups from AECMA and AIA
researched the procedural texts in maintenance manuals. The product of this effort was the
AECMA Simplified English Guide, first released in 1986. In 2004, after AECMA merged with two
other European organizations, EDIG (European Defence Industries Group) and EUROSPACE
(European Space Industries Association), ASD was created and the Guide became the ASD
Simplified Technical English Specification ASD-STE100.
ASD Simplified Technical English (STE) was developed to help the users of English-language
documentation understand what they read, particularly in multinational programs. Since the first
publication of the AECMA Simplified English Guide, now the ASD-STE100 specification, other non-
aerospace industries have adopted the principles of the ASD-STE100 specification for their own
documentation.
STE is not only for those who do not have English as their native language, but also for those who
do.
What is ASD Simplified Technical English (STE)?

STE is an international specification for the preparation of maintenance documentation in a
controlled language.
It is a set of writing rules and a dictionary of controlled vocabulary. The words in the dictionary were
chosen for their simplicity and ease of recognition. When there are several words in English for a
certain thing or action (synonyms), this specification gives one of these synonyms to the exclusion
of the others (whenever possible, “one word - one meaning”). For example, “start” was chosen
Issue 6 General introduction Page i

2013-01-15
instead of “begin”, “commence”, “initiate”, or “originate”. When there is a choice between American
English and British English words and spelling, the American version is used (Merriam-Webster’s
Dictionary).
When there are several possible definitions of a word in English, in general the specification gives
one of these definitions to the exclusion of the others (whenever possible, “one word - one
meaning”). For example, “to fall” has the definition of “to move down by the force of gravity”, not
“decrease”.
Which other words are available to the writer?

Besides the words in the dictionary, the writer can also use those words that are in one of two
categories: either Technical Names or Technical Verbs. Technical Names and Technical Verbs are
words related to the categories listed in rules 1.5 and 1.13. It is not usually possible to replace
these words with others. To help you decide whether a word is a Technical Name or a Technical
Verb, you must be able to put it into a category. Each category includes examples of such words,
but will not tell you which words are preferable. For example, the specification will not help you
decide whether a certain part of an aircraft is better called “flight deck” or “flight compartment”.
Such in-house preferences are determined by national or company policy. The dictionary contains
only words that do not belong to any of the categories of Technical Names or of Technical Verbs.
What is the purpose of this specification?

The purpose of this specification is to explain the rules and features of ASD-STE100. STE is not
meant to be a complete treatise on either the English language or technical writing. Thus, matters
that are adequately dealt with in standard reference books or in other specifications are not
included here.
Why are there no guidelines here for abbreviations of nomenclature?

Again, this would normally be a subject for your own company, although we do give some advice
on shortening nomenclature.
Can STE be used alone?

No. It is intended to be used with other technical publication specifications and official directives.
The use of the specification requires a high standard of professionalism on the writer’s part.
Can STE be used for oral communication?

No. It is intended to be used for written communication only. Nevertheless, a text written in STE is
a very useful start for oral computer-based training.
Does STE regulate formatting?

No. The specification regulates content. It does not regulate format (such as typeface, numbering
and lettering). Again, you must refer to your technical publication specifications and other official
directives.
Page ii General Introduction Issue 6

2013-01-15
Can STE be used to teach a writer English?

No. The writer must have a good command of written English. This specification will help the writer
present complex information in a simple form. Writing clearly is a complex task, and writing in STE
requires language fluency.
Can the writer get training in STE or find supporting software products?
To assist users and potential users of STE, there are organizations, companies and individuals that
market and give training courses in the use of STE, and there are producers of software products
that support STE.
Neither ASD, the Simplified Technical English Maintenance Group (STEMG), nor any organization
associated with the production of ASD-STE100 intend or imply any warranty or endorsement of
any of the organizations, companies and individuals that provide training or supporting software
products.

as a separate word unless it is a prefix.
RULE: 8.5 Use parentheses:
- To make cross-references to illustrations and/or text
- To quote letters or numbers that identify items on an illustration or in text
- To mark text for which separation by commas is not sufficient
- To set off text that is not part of the main statement, but is
important enough to be indicated
- To indicate the correct breakdown level of procedural substeps.
Other rules related to word counts
RULE: 8.6 When you count words for sentence length, text in parentheses counts as a new
sentence.

2013-01-15
RULE: 8.7 When you count words for sentence length, a number counts as one word.
RULE: 8.8 When you count words for sentence length, an alphanumeric identifier counts as one
word.

one word.
RULE: 8.10 When you count words for sentence length, titles, placards and quoted text count as
one word.

RULE: 9.1 Use a different construction to rewrite sentences when a word-for-word replacement
is not sufficient.
Correct use of approved words
RULE: 9.2 When you combine words to make a phrase, make sure that the words continue to
obey the meanings given to them in the Dictionary (Part 2).
RULE: 9.3 Use the Dictionary (Part 2) correctly to get the correct words, meanings, and parts of
speech.

Section 1 - Words
Summary of the rules
Part of speech
Approved meaning
RULE: 1.3 Keep to the approved meaning of a word in the Dictionary. Do not use the word with
any other meaning.
RULE: 1.7 Some unapproved words are used to complete Technical Names. Do not use these
unapproved words unless they are part of a Technical Name.
RULE: 1.14 Use Technical Verbs only as verbs, not as nouns (unless the noun form qualifies as a
Technical Name). You can use the past participle of the verb as an adjective.
words.
Abstraction

2013-01-15

Simplified Technical English (STE) has a controlled general vocabulary with sufficient words to
write any technical sentence. In addition to this general vocabulary, you can also use those words
that belong to the categories of Technical Names and Technical Verbs.
Part of speech
Each approved word in the dictionary has a part of speech. Do not use it as another part of
speech for which it is not approved. For example, if a word is given only as a noun, do not use it as
a verb.
Example: “Test” is approved as a noun but not as a verb.

Non-STE: Test the system for leaks.
STE: Do the leak test for the system.
or
Do a test for leaks in the system.
Example: “Close” is a verb (and not an adverb).

STE: Close the access panel. (“close” is a verb here)
Non-STE: Do not go close to the test rig during the test. (“close” is an adverb here)
STE: Do not go near the test rig during the test.
Approved meaning
RULE: 1.3 Keep to the approved meaning of a word in the Dictionary. Do not use the word
with any other meaning.
Example: “Follow” means “come after”. It does not mean “obey”.

Non-STE: Follow the safety instructions.
STE: Obey the safety instructions.

2013-01-15

Examples:
BURN (v), BURNS, BURNED, BURNED
(This shows that you must spell the past participle “BURNED” not “burnt”, and that you
must not use the “-ing” form. Also, refer to rule 3.2.)
SLOW (adj)
(SLOWER, SLOWEST)
TACKY (adj)
(The other forms of this adjective, “tackier” and “tackiest”, are not permitted.)

Technical Names are words related to the categories listed below. Because there are many
Technical Names, and because each manufacturer uses different names, there is not a complete
list of Technical Names in the Dictionary. Instead, we give you below a list of categories, with some
examples, to help you decide if a word can be a Technical Name. You can use unapproved words
from the dictionary as Technical Names or as part of Technical Names only if you can put them
into one of the categories below.

Example:
Non-STE: If you think it will snow, put the aircraft in the applicable configuration.
STE: If you think that snow will fall, put the aircraft in the applicable configuration.
RULE: 1.7 Some unapproved words are used to complete Technical Names. Do not use
these unapproved words unless they are part of a Technical Name.
Example:
STE: Retract the main landing gear.
(“Main landing gear” is a Technical Name.)
Example:
Non-STE: Keep the main part of the assembly.
(“Main part” is not a Technical Name.)
STE: Keep the primary part of the assembly.

If your company has an official Technical Name for systems, components, parts, processes, etc.,
use the official Technical Name. Usually, you will find these names in official parts data and in your
company’s documentation.

2013-01-15

Sometimes, official Technical Names are long noun clusters that you must shorten to obey the
rules about noun clusters (refer to Section 2). There are two ways in which you can shorten such
names:
- You can use one of the methods explained under Rule 2.2.
- You can use an acronym or abbreviation, but only if they are approved by your company or
if they are in general use in your industry. Do not use other acronyms or abbreviations.
Example:
Non-STE: Lock the line replaceable unit cabinet. (“line replaceable unit cabinet” is 4 words)
STE: Lock the LRU cabinet. (LRU is a recognized abbreviation in the aeronautical
industry)
In the case of items for which there is not an official Technical Name, and for which you have a
choice, use the shortest and simplest name.
Example:
Non-STE: Pump outlet volute
STE: Outlet of the pump

In the case of items for which there is not an official Technical Name, make sure that the words you
choose are common words. Readers of your documentation from all over the world must
understand the words that you use.
Example:
Non-STE: Make a sandwich with two washers (25) and the spacer (26).
STE: Install the spacer (26) between the two washers (25).
There are Technical Names which have local or regional meaning only. Choose Technical Names
which have the most universal meaning.
Example:
Non-STE: Use a foot-long breaker bar during this procedure.
(“Breaker bar” appears in some tool catalogs, but can be confusing.)
STE: Use a 12-inch wrench handle during this procedure.
If you decide to use a Technical Name, do not use a different name in another place to refer to the
same thing. For example, if you call something a “servo control unit”, use that name in all places
(including on illustrations). Do not call it an “actuator” in another place.

2013-01-15

Technical Verbs are words used to name actions that are related to your industry or your company
in a specific context. Because there are so many Technical Verbs, and because each
manufacturer may use a different verb for the same process, there is not a complete list of
Technical Verbs in the specification. Instead, we give you a list of categories, with some examples,
to help you decide if a verb expresses a technical operation. Technical Verbs must obey the same
rules as other approved verbs in STE (refer to Section 3).
If there is already an approved verb in the dictionary that accurately describes the action, use the
approved STE word. Do not create additional verbs unless it is necessary.
Example:
Non-STE: Cracks radiate from the center of the shaft.
STE: Cracks go out from the center of the shaft.
But you can write in STE:

The isotope source radiates sufficiently for this inspection.
If you must use additional verbs, use only specific verbs, not general verbs.
Example:
Non-STE: Machine the hole to get the correct dimension.
STE: Ream the hole to get the correct dimension.
You can use words that are unapproved in the dictionary only if you use them as Technical Verbs
with a different meaning.
Example:
Non-STE: The vapors that this material emits are dangerous to the skin.
STE: The fumes from this material are dangerous to the skin.
But you can write in STE:

A diode emits infrared light.

2013-01-15
A word qualifies as a Technical Verb if you can put it in one of the four categories that follow:
NOTE: The words shown below are only examples. The Technical Verbs that you use must agree
with your company policy.
1. Manufacturing processes
a) Remove material:
Drill, grind, mill, ream
b) Add material:
Flame, insulate, remetal, retread
c) Attach material:
Bond, crimp, rivet, weld
d) Change the mechanical strength, the structure, or physical properties of a material:
Anneal, cure, heat-treat, magnetize, normalize
e) Change the surface finish of a material:
Buff, burnish, plate, polish
f) Change the shape of a material:
Cast, extrude, spin, stamp
2. Computer processes and applications
a) Input/output processes:
Enter, click, print
b) User interface and application processes:
Clear, close, copy, cut, delete, drag, encrypt, erase, highlight, maximize, minimize, open,
paste, save, scroll, select, store
c) System operations:
Abort, boot, debug, download, format, install, load, process, reboot, update, upgrade, upload
3. Descriptions
You can use these Technical Verbs only in descriptive texts such as Description and Operation
information, and in the descriptive parts of Service Bulletins.
a) Mathematical, scientific and engineering processes

Bisect, compensate for, emit, modulate, radiate
b) Military processes
Aim, arm, enable, explode, disable, fire, intercept, parachute
c) Regulatory language
Waive (for inspection and requirements), comply with, conform to, supersede, meet (a
requirement)

2013-01-15
4. Operational language
You can use these Technical Verbs only in operational manuals such as aircrew manuals and
land/sea specific information sets.
airdrop, alert, approach, authorize, brief, call, contact, descend, deviate, disembark, drift,
enable, fasten, ferry, fly, inform, inhibit, land, latch, load, maintain, navigate, observe, park,
provide, reach, respond, retard, return, rotate, shut down, sideslip, sit, sleep, switch off, switch
on, take off, take over, trigger, unfasten, unlatch, unload, verify
RULE: 1.14 Use Technical Verbs only as verbs, not as nouns (unless the noun form
qualifies as a Technical Name). You can use the past participle of the verb as
an adjective.
Example:
Non-STE: Give the hole 0.20 inch over-ream.
STE: Ream the hole 0.20 inch larger than the standard.
Example:
STE: Lubricate the reamed hole.
“Reamed” is a past participle used as an adjective.
But you can write “welding torch”, “grinding wheel”, “download mode”, “file format”, etc. These
qualify as Technical Names.

words.
In procedures written in STE, it is often necessary to use the same word many times in one text.
This is because the number of words is limited, and their meanings are strictly defined.
When the same words are used many times, this can help the reader to understand the text. The
reader becomes familiar with patterns of words and their meanings. Do not confuse the reader
with different words that mean the same thing. When you choose words to describe an action,
continue to use these same words when that action is described again. When you choose a
Technical Name or a Technical Verb, always use the same word or words to describe the same
object or process.
Example:
Sentences 1 and 2 describe the same maintenance action:
1. Remove the baseplate bolts to release the pump.
2. Remove the bolts that attach the pump and move the pump off the baseplate.
If these two sentences are used in different instructions to describe the same action, this can
confuse the reader. Choose the version that is best and use it for all similar contexts.

2013-01-15
In descriptive writing, it is permitted to use different words or constructions to keep the text
interesting. This is because descriptive text is intended to give information more than instruction,
and different words and sentence constructions can help do this.

Use the spelling in accordance with Part 2 of this document and American English spelling
(Merriam-Webster), unless otherwise specified by the contractual specifications or other official
directives.
Abstraction
If a text describes the general effect of an action but not specifically how to do the action, this is an
example of “abstraction”.
Example:
Non-STE: Different temperatures will change the cure time.
(This does not tell the reader to increase or decrease the temperature).
STE: Increase the temperature to decrease the cure time.
Example:
Non-STE: No leaks permitted.
(This does not give the reader a procedural instruction).
STE: Repair all the leaks.
Example:
Non-STE: Turn the handle clockwise, then vice-versa.

STE: Turn the handle first clockwise, then counterclockwise.

2013-01-15
Section 2 - Noun phrases

Noun clusters
related words.
Articles
RULE: 2.3 When appropriate, use an article (the, a, an) or a demonstrative adjective (this, these)
before a noun.
Noun clusters
In English, one or more nouns can be used to describe or modify another noun. In technical
language, it is common to see phrases made from several nouns. These groups of nouns are
called noun clusters, and if they are too long, they can confuse the reader. Shorter noun clusters
are easier to understand because the main noun and the other nouns that modify or describe it are
closer together. Longer noun clusters are more difficult to understand because some nouns will
describe another modifying noun and not the main noun (which is usually the last noun).
Example:
Short noun cluster: Runway light connection
(The main noun is “connection”.)
Long noun cluster: Runway light connection resistance calibration
(The main noun is “calibration”.)
The long noun cluster is difficult to understand because it is not clear what relation “runway” (for
example) has with “calibration”. The reader has to go past four modifying words to get to the main
noun, “calibration”. Such noun clusters are almost impossible to read for non-native English
readers. This is probably because these readers begin with the first noun (“runway” in the above
example), which, in some languages, is the main noun. But the noun that the reader needs in
English is at the end of the noun cluster (“calibration” in this case).
Runway light connection resistance calibration
 Calibration of the resistance of the runway light connection

To help your reader, therefore, do not make noun clusters of more than three nouns.
If you cannot rearrange the noun cluster because it is an official technical name, use Rule 2.2 to
clarify it.
Example:
Non-STE: The nose landing gear uplock attachment bolt is ....
STE: The bolt that attaches the uplock to the nose landing gear is ....
Example:
Non-STE: Adjust to obtain door operating rod alignment with the attachment point.
STE: Adjust the door-operating rod until it is aligned with the point to which it is attached.
Example:
Non-STE: Engine exhaust gas cooling is accomplished by mixing it with APU enclosure
ventilation air.
STE: The exhaust gas from the engine mixes with ventilation air from the APU enclosure
to decrease the exhaust temperature.
related words.
Technical Names are frequently too long, and if they are a company's official nomenclature (refer
to Rule 1.9), it will not be possible to rearrange the words. In such cases, there are two methods
that you can use to help your reader.
Method 1: Use hyphens to show the relationship between the most closely related words.
It is good practice to put hyphens between word pairs. Each hyphenated word pair must be able to
stand alone and must form a logical word pair (“landing-gear”, “main-switch”).
Example:
Non-STE: Landing light cutoff switch power connection
STE: Landing-light cutoff-switch power connection
Example:
Non-STE: Main gear inboard door retraction winch handle
STE: Main-gear inboard-door retraction-winch handle
NOTE: Do not put hyphens between all the words in a noun cluster. Hyphens between all of the
words in a noun cluster will not help your reader to understand it.

2013-01-15
Example:
Non-STE: Main-landing gear-water spray deflector
(“main landing” and “gear water” could perhaps stand alone, but in this example,
they would not be logical pairs)
STE: Main landing-gear water-spray deflector
(“landing gear” and “water spray” are logical pairs and can each stand alone)
Method 2: Explain the noun cluster, then, if possible, use a shorter name.
If the Technical Name is too long, you can use the full name, then explain what it is. You can then
use a shorter version of the Technical Name.
Example:
Non-STE: Engage the ramp service door safety connector pin before you do this procedure.
STE: Engage the ramp service door safety connector pin (the pin that holds the ramp
service door, referred to in this procedure as the safety connector pin) before you do
this procedure.
Articles
RULE: 2.3 When appropriate, use an article (the, a, an) or a demonstrative adjective (this,
these) before a noun.
Articles show where the noun phrases are. Do not omit articles from text to try to make the text
shorter or more official sounding.
Example:
Non-STE: Lift up assembly and put in box.
STE: Lift up the assembly and put it in a box.
Articles are not necessary before all nouns in a series or before mass nouns used in general
statements.
Examples:
Put the packings, gaskets, and seals in a safe location.
Solvents can cause damage to paint.

Section 3 - Verbs
- The infinitive
- The imperative
- The future tense.
RULE: 3.4 Use the past participle only as an adjective, either with a noun or after the verbs TO
BE, TO BECOME.
RULE: 3.5 Do not use the past participle with a form of the verb HAVE to make an unapproved
tense.
RULE: 3.6 Do not use the past participle of a verb with a helping verb to make a complex verb.
The active voice
RULE: 3.7 Use the active voice. Use only the active voice in procedural writing, and as much as
possible in descriptive writing.
RULE: 3.8 If there is an approved verb to describe an action, use the verb (not a noun or other
part of speech).

The dictionary gives you the forms that you can use of each approved verb.
Examples:
ADJUST, ADJUSTS, ADJUSTED, ADJUSTED
BE, IS, WAS, ARE, WERE
There are two occurrences of ADJUSTED shown in the dictionary entries, one to show that the
form can be used for the simple past, and one to show that it can be used as the past participle.
This is the case for most of the approved verbs in the dictionary. But there are some approved
verbs, such as OVERRIDE, where the simple past form and the past participle form are different:
OVERRODE, OVERRIDDEN.
Issue 6 Part 1 - Writing Rules Page 1-3-1

2013-01-15
Example:
Non-STE: ..is adjusting
STE: …adjusts
There are words with “-ing” endings in the dictionary, but these words are always nouns, adjectives
or prepositions. These words are:
- DURING (pre)
- LIGHTING (n)
- MATING (adj)
- MISSING (adj)
- OPENING (n)
- REMAINING (adj)
- ROUTING (n)
- SERVICING (n)
You can use the “-ing” form of some verbs only as a Technical Name or as part of a Technical
Name (refer to Section 1).
Examples:
grinding wheel, polishing jag, switching relay, warning, welding torch
- The infinitive
- The imperative
- The future tense.
You can use the approved forms of the verb to make:
- The infinitive (TO ADJUST, or simply ADJUST)
- The imperative (“command” form) (ADJUST something)
- The simple present tense (it ADJUSTS, you, we, they ADJUST)
- The simple past tense (it ADJUSTED)
- The past participle as an adjective (the ADJUSTED linkage)
- The future tense (you will ADJUST).

2013-01-15
RULE: 3.4 Use the past participle only as an adjective, either with a noun or after the verbs
TO BE, TO BECOME.
You can use the past participle of a verb as an adjective, either before a noun, or after a form of
the verb TO BE or TO BECOME. When used as an adjective, the past participle shows the state,
or condition, that something is in. (Do not confuse this with the passive voice, where it shows an
action. Refer to Rule 3.7.)
Example:
Here is how you can use DISCONNECTED as an adjective:
Connect the disconnected wires. (Adjective before “wires”)
The wires are disconnected. (Adjective after “are”, a form of TO BE)
The wires become disconnected. (Adjective after “become”)
With some irregular verbs, the past participle is not permitted. Do not use the past participle if it is
not in the dictionary (for example, do not use “been” or “gotten”).
RULE: 3.5 Do not use the past participle with a form of the verb HAVE to make an
unapproved tense.
Examples:
Non-STE: ...has adjusted.
STE: …adjusted.
Non-STE: ...has been adjusted.

STE: ...was adjusted.
(where “adjusted” is an adjective after “was”, a form of TO BE)
RULE: 3.6 Do not use the past participle of a verb with a helping verb to make a complex
verb.
Do not use the past participle with a helping verb (such as “can”, “must”, or “will”) and a form of the
verb “TO BE” to make a complex verb.
Example:
Non-STE: ...can be adjusted.
STE: ...you can adjust
Example:
Non-STE: ...will be adjusted
STE: ...will adjust or ...adjusts
Example:
Non-STE: ...must be adjusted
STE: Adjust the...

2013-01-15
The active voice

RULE: 3.7 Use the active voice. Use only the active voice in procedural writing, and as
much as possible in descriptive writing.
NOTE: Refer also to Section 5, Procedures, and Section 6, Descriptive Writing.
What is “active” or “passive” voice?

In the active voice, the subject of the sentence does the action of the sentence (“A” does “B”). In
the passive voice, the subject of the sentence receives the action (“B” is done by “A”).
Example:
ACTIVE: The side stay holds the main gear leg.
PASSIVE: The main gear leg is held by the side stay.
Example:
ACTIVE: The manufacturer made the procedures the same to decrease the maintenance time.
PASSIVE: The procedures have been made the same by the manufacturer to decrease the
maintenance time.
In each of the passive examples, you can ask the question “by whom or what?”
- The main gear leg is held by the side stay.
- The procedures have been made the same by the manufacturer to decrease the maintenance
time.
How can you tell if the text is passive?
The best test for the passive voice is the question “By whom or what?” (the agent). If your text
gives you an answer to this question, then it is written in the passive voice.
The second and confirming test for the passive is the way the text is written. Even if there is no “by”
phrase within the sentence, a passive construction may exist. You can see from the two examples
above that we write the passive voice by using some form of the verb TO BE plus the past
participle of the main verb:
- is held
- have been made
How do you change a passive construction to the active?
To change a passive construction to the active, you can use these four methods:
1. When the agent (the person or thing that does the action) is identified in the sentence, put this
agent at the beginning of the sentence, as the subject. The subject must always be the noun
that does the action of the sentence, as shown in the following diagram:

2013-01-15
Agent
Passive construction: The main gear leg is held by the side stay
Active construction: The side stay holds the main gear leg
Subject
Example:
Non-STE: The circuits are connected by a switching relay. (Passive)
STE: A switching relay connects the circuits. (Active)
2. Change an infinitive verb to an active verb.
Example:
Non-STE: These values are used by the computer to calculate the altitude. (Passive)
STE: The computer calculates the altitude from these values. (Active)
3. In procedures, change the verb to the imperative (“command”) form.
Examples:
Non-STE: The test can be continued by the operator. (Passive)
STE: Continue the test. (Active)
Non-STE: Oil and grease are to be removed with a degreasing agent. (Passive)
STE: Remove oil and grease with a degreasing agent. (Active)
4. In descriptive text, when the agent (the person or thing that does the action) is not identified in
the sentence, you can use the pronoun subjects “you” or “we” in the active sentence if the
agent is the reader (“you”) or the manufacturer (“we”).
Example:
Non-STE: On the ground, the valve can be opened with the override handle. (Passive)
STE: On the ground, you can open the valve with the override handle. (Active)
Example:
Non-STE: The bypass filter is not used in the system. (Passive)
STE: We do not use the bypass filter in the system. (Active)

2013-01-15
NOTE: In this case “we” stands for the manufacturer. Note also that the use of personal pronouns
can help to make a text more interesting to read.

RULE: 3.8 If there is an approved verb to describe an action, use the verb (not a noun or
other part of speech).
If there are different ways to write something, use the construction in which an approved verb
shows the action. This is because the primary function of a verb is to express action.
Example:
Non-STE: The meter gives an indication of 450 ± 22 ohms.
WRITE: The ohmmeter shows 450 ± 22 ohms.
Non-STE: Ensure that the 600 Hz tone is audible when the GPW GND ACT switch is
depressed.
STE: (a) Push in the GPW GND ACT switch.
(b) Make sure that you hear the 600 Hz tone at the same time.
Sometimes it is not possible to follow this advice in STE because of the limited choice of words.
For example, in STE you must write “Do the leak test” instead of “Test for leaks”. This is because
“test” is only approved as a noun in the dictionary.
NOTE: The approved verbs in the dictionary were chosen because, in general:
- They are high frequency verbs, understandable by a majority of people involved in
maintenance
- They cannot be confused with another part of speech (“test (v)” could be confused with
“TEST (n)”).

Section 4 - Sentences
Short sentences
Vertical lists
Connecting words
RULE: 4.4 Use connecting words to join consecutive sentences that contain related thoughts.
Refer also to these rules, which are closely related:
Sentence length: Rules 5.1, 6.1, 8.2, 8.4, 8.6 thru 8.10
Vertical lists: Rule 8.1
The basic philosophy

The basic philosophy of Simplified Technical English (STE) is to keep texts as simple and readable
as possible. This means that, when we write sentences, we must keep the sentences short and
use simple sentence structure.
Short sentences
For the maximum number of words permitted in sentences, refer to Section 5 and Section 6. For
advice on how to count words, refer to Section 8.

Some writers make long sentences because they want to tell the readers everything they know.
But if you put all your detailed knowledge into one or two sentences, you will overwhelm your
reader. Thus, you must present your information slowly, and in sentences that each contains one
topic. If you do this, your sentences will automatically be short.
If you have to break up a long sentence, look for connecting words such as “and”, “but”, “if”, or
“also”. You can usually break a sentence at these words, although you must add a pronoun (“it”,
“they”, “this”, “these”), or a demonstrative adjective (“this”, “these”) and a noun.
Example:
Non-STE: The side stay assembly has two main members and two folding toggles hinged
together and attached with hinges between the main gear strut and the side stay
bracket.
(The underlined connecting word links two sentence parts that can stand on their
own.)

2013-01-15
STE: The side stay assembly has two folding toggles. These are attached with hinges
between the main gear strut and the side stay bracket.
(The pronoun is underlined.)
Do not omit nouns. The reader will not know what things are referred to.
Example:
Non-STE: Can be a maximum of five inches long.
STE: Cracks can be a maximum of five inches long.
Do not omit verbs. The reader will not know what the action is.
Example:
Non-STE: Rotary switch to INPUT.
STE: Set the rotary switch to INPUT.
Do not omit parts of words to create contractions, such as “don’t”, “isn’t”, etc. These can be difficult
to understand in technical procedures. They are also considered too informal in technical writing
by most companies.
Example:
Non-STE: Don’t use the part if it is included in post-SB 47-7001 assemblies.
STE: Do not use the part if it is included in post-SB 47-7001 assemblies.
Do not use expressions in which the topic item is omitted. The reader will not know what things are
referred to.
Example:
Non-STE: If installed, remove the shims.
STE: If the shims are installed, remove them.
Example:
Non-STE: WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THE POTABLE WATER SYSTEM IS NOT
PRESSURIZED. IF NOT, THIS CAN CAUSE INJURY TO PERSONS
WHEN THEY DO WORK ON IT.
STE: WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THE POTABLE WATER SYSTEM IS NOT
PRESSURIZED. A PRESSURIZED SYSTEM CAN CAUSE INJURY
TO PERSONS WHEN THEY DO WORK ON IT.

2013-01-15
Vertical lists
Text in the form of a vertical list with standard punctuation helps to show the relationship between
two or more complex actions or events. Text in this form is clearer. Refer to Section 8 for
punctuation, and information on how to count the words in a vertical list layout.
As a reminder, when you use vertical lists:
- Each breakout starts with an upper case letter.
- Put a full stop (period) at the end of each breakout if it is a complete sentence.
- Do not put a full stop (period) or a comma at the end of each breakout if it is not a complete
sentence. Put the full stop only at the end of the last breakout.
- Introduce the breakouts with a visual marker, for example a dash, a letter, or a number.
Refer to your technical publication specifications and other official directives.
Example:
Non-STE: From top to bottom, the controls on the main panel consist of an OFF/ON main
switch, a START push button, and a STOP/O.S. TEST push button.
STE: The controls on the main panel, from the top to the bottom, are:
- An OFF/ON main switch
- A START push button
- A STOP/O.S. TEST push button.
Example:
Non-STE: The dossier must contain each of the following: a completed form REC-1, a three-
view drawing of the aircraft, a photograph of the aircraft, a statement of the support
data.
STE: The dossier must include:
- A completed form REC-1
- A three-view drawing of the aircraft
- A photograph of the aircraft
- A statement of the support data.
Example:
Non-STE: If ram is retracted, remove tag, open the isolating valves and, ensuring that there is
no possibility of fouling, slowly extend the ram to its full stroke. Close the isolating
valves; tag “DO NOT OPERATE”. Release the DOWN pressure.
STE: If the ram is retracted:
(a) Remove the tag.
(b) Open the isolating valves.
(c) Slowly extend the ram fully and make sure that it does not touch other parts.
(d) Close the isolating valves.
(e) Tag the isolating valves with “DO NOT OPERATE”.
(f) Release the DOWN pressure.

2013-01-15
Example:
Non-STE: During the final movement of the landing gear retraction, the door operating bar
located on the leg contacts and turns the latch, withdrawing the roller from the slot
and the second roller entraps the door operating bar.
STE: When the landing gear retracts:
(1) The door-operating bar on the leg touches and turns the latch.
(2) This causes the roller to move out of the slot.
(3) The second roller holds the door-operating bar.
Connecting words
RULE: 4.4 Use connecting words to join consecutive sentences that contain related
thoughts.
Connecting words are words or phrases that connect one thought with another one that follows.
To build information slowly and logically, use connecting words to show the relationship between
ideas. Such connecting words are: “and”, “thus”, “also”, “but”, and “then”.
In English, you can start a sentence with “and” or “but”. Just make sure that you do not start too
many sentences with these words. If you use them too often to start sentences, you will weaken
your text.
Examples:
These safety precautions are the minimum necessary for work in a fuel tank. But the local
regulations can make other safety precautions necessary.
The localizer course is aligned with the centerline of the runway. And the glideslope path is at a
constant angle to the threshold of the runway).
NOTE: For more information, refer to Section 6.

2013-01-15
Section 5 - Procedures
Sentence length
RULE: 5.3 Write more than one instruction per sentence only when more than one action is done
at the same time.
Verbs
RULE: 5.5 If you start an instruction with a descriptive statement (dependent phrase or clause),
you must separate that statement from the rest of the instruction with a comma.
Word counts: Rules 8.2, 8.4 thru 8.10
Active voice of verbs: Rule 3.7
Vertical list: Rules 4.3, 8.1
Sentence length
The maximum length of a procedural sentence is 20 words. (Refer to Section 8 for the rules about
word count.)
Example:
Non-STE: After you have removed the electrical power from the system, make sure that the
refueling panel switches go back to their normal position. (Twenty-three words)
STE: (1) Remove the electrical power from the system.
(Seven words)
(2) Make sure that the refueling panel switches go back to their correct position.
(Thirteen words)

If you put all your instructions into one or two sentences, you will overwhelm your readers.
Therefore, you must present your instructions one at a time. This will let your readers complete one
item before they start another.
NOTE: There can be more than one sentence in a procedural paragraph or step.

2013-01-15
Example:
Non-STE: Set the TEST switch to the middle position and then release the SHORT-CIRCUIT
TEST switch.
STE: (1) Set the TEST switch to the middle position.
(2) Release the SHORT-CIRCUIT TEST switch.
Example:
Non-STE: (1) Install the piston, the tab washer and the nut on the piston rod, then torque the
nut to 200 Nm.
STE: (1) Install the piston, the tab washer and the nut on the piston rod. Then torque the
nut to 200 Nm.
RULE: 5.3 Write more than one instruction per sentence only when more than one action
is done at the same time.
Some instructions or actions need to be done either simultaneously or almost at the same time (for
instance, in one motion). It is permitted in these cases to have more than one instruction in a
sentence.
Examples:
- Hold the switch to the TEST position and make sure the light comes on.
- Slowly extend the ram fully and make sure that it does not touch other parts.
Verbs
In procedures, the verbs you use must always be in the active voice (refer to Rule 3.7).
Procedures can contain:
- Descriptive text, where the verb is in the third person singular (“he”, “she”, “it”) or plural
(“they”).
- Instructions, where the verb must be in the imperative (“command”) form.
An instruction in a procedure tells the reader to do something. Two things are important about
instructions:
- The verb is in the imperative (“command”) form (as if “you must” were written in front of it)
- The subject of the verb is implied as “you”, but is not necessarily written into the sentence.
Examples:
- Set the switch to ON = (You must) set the switch to ON.
- Remove the bolts = (You must) remove the bolts.
- Be careful with the concentrated acid = (You must) be careful with the concentrated acid.

2013-01-15
It is better to write the verb in the imperative (“command”) form because this emphasizes that the
operator must do a certain action. Other, less direct forms of instructions leave confusion as to
whether something:
- Must be done
- Is already done
- Must be done in the future by someone else.
Example:
Non-STE: The test can be continued by the operator.
STE: Continue the test.
Example:
Non-STE: Oil and grease are to be removed with a degreasing agent.
STE: Remove oil and grease with a degreasing agent.

RULE: 5.5 If you start an instruction with a descriptive statement (dependent phrase or
clause), you must separate that statement from the rest of the instruction with a
comma.
Many procedural steps do not begin with a command. Often, there are conditions to be met before
an action or process is done. The rule in this case is to separate the introductory dependent phrase
or clause from the independent clause (the remainder of the sentence) with a comma. This avoids
ambiguity.
Example:
- When the light comes on, set the switch to NORMAL.
- When the surface is dry, apply the primer.
- If the CSD does not operate correctly, disconnect it from the gearbox.
- On panel XXXX, the FAULT annunciator light comes on.
NOTE: In general, use commas to clarify your instructions. Do not use them where they are not
necessary.

Section 6 - Descriptive writing

Sentence length
RULE: 6.1 Keep sentences in descriptive writing as short as possible (25 words maximum).
Paragraphs
RULE: 6.6 Use keywords to make the relationship between sentences and paragraphs clear.
Paragraph length
Sentences: Refer to Rules 4.1 thru 4.4.
Word counts: Refer to Rules 8.2, 8.4, and 8.6 thru 8.10.
Active and passive voice of verbs: Refer to Rule 3.7.
The basic philosophy

The basic philosophy of Simplified Technical English (STE) is to keep texts as simple and readable
as possible. Descriptive writing is no exception to this rule.
The purpose of descriptive writing is to give information, not instructions. This can be in the form of
a description and operation topic, a general paragraph, or a note in a procedure. Remember that
descriptive text in procedural notes will be read by people who will do the procedure. Descriptive
text in a description and operation topic will be read by people who want only information. This
(and your company policy) can determine the level of language used in these sections.
Sentence length
RULE: 6.1 Keep sentences in descriptive writing as short as possible (25 words
maximum).
In descriptive writing, a sentence length of 25 words is permitted. This is because descriptive text is
more complex than procedural text. Refer to Section 8 for the rules about word counts, especially
Rule 8.10 for titles, placards, or quoted text.

2013-01-15
Long sentences are not necessary for good technical writing. It is possible to write about the most
complex topics in short sentences. The use of short sentences will not weaken your description or
argument, but will make it stronger. This is because you give your reader frequent opportunities to
stop and “digest” what you wrote.
A series of short sentences with the same construction is boring and irritating to read. Thus, you
should try to vary the sentence lengths and constructions in descriptive writing.
Use connecting words to join separate sentences instead of writing long sentences. This will result
in two or more independent clauses instead of a long sentence. (Refer to Rule 4.4)
Example:
Non-STE: A CSD has been installed on each engine. The CSD provides a means of driving the
AC generator. The CSD drives the AC generators at a constant speed of 8,000 rpm.
This speed is independent of the engine rpm or generator load. The CSD is
mounted on the engine gearbox. The AC generator is driven by the engine gearbox.
It is driven via a differential gear in the CSD. The differential input is controlled by a
hydraulic motor. The hydraulic motor can increase or decrease the number of
revolutions to the engine drive rpm. This keeps the generator rpm at approximately
8000.
STE: Each engine has a CSD to operate the AC generator at a constant speed of 8000
rpm. Differences in engine rpm and generator load have no effect on this constant
speed. The CSD is on the engine gearbox which operates the AC generator through
a differential gear in the CSD. A hydraulic motor controls the differential input. The
motor can increase or decrease the number of revolutions to keep the generator at
approximately 8000 rpm.
Active or passive voice

In descriptive writing, you can use the active voice in most cases. Use the passive voice only when
absolutely necessary. (Refer to Section 3)
Paragraphs
In procedures, we identify separate steps to show the reader how the text is built up. But in
descriptive writing, paragraphs do this job. Each paragraph is a unit of closely related information
that is separated from other units of information by white space. The reader can see the
boundaries of such a unit of information and can then relate that unit to other similar units of
information. Thus, paragraphs show the reader the logic of the text: they are units of structured
thought.

2013-01-15

Each paragraph must have only one topic. The paragraph must deal with that topic in a logical
manner and must make the relationship between sequences of information clear to the reader. You
must not put unrelated pieces of information into the same paragraph. If one paragraph is not
sufficient for all the necessary information, divide the subject matter and deal with each separate
aspect in its own paragraph.
The most important part of the paragraph is the first sentence. This must be the “topic sentence”,
which tells your reader what the paragraph is about. Reading the topic sentence allows your reader
to relate the paragraph to other information he has just read. To help with this relation to other
paragraphs, the first sentence should also contain a “keyword” (see the paragraphs that follow).
Thus, by reading only the topic sentences, the reader should be able to understand the broad
outline of your text. If the reader is looking for some specific information, the topic sentence should
be able to help the reader decide which paragraph has the desired text. After the topic sentence,
the remaining sentences must go on to develop the topic, to give additional facts, or to discuss
particular aspects. Each sentence must add new information and must connect this information
logically to what was stated in previous sentences.
Example:
First version
Instrument Landing System
During approach to the runway, deviation pointers in the course indicators give commands to fly up
or down and left or right. This information comes from the VHF transceivers, which are part of the
Instrument Landing System. This helps the pilot during the landing approach. When the pilot
responds to the commands, the aircraft can be flown over the runway centerline (localizer) and at a
fixed angle (glideslope) to the runway threshold.
The localizer signals are processed by the transceiver and ......
Improved version
(The numbers identify the sentences)
Instrument Landing System
(1) The Instrument Landing System in the aircraft shows data that helps the pilot during the
approach to the runway. (2) This system shows the pilot the deviations from the “localizer” course
and the “glideslope” path. ((3) The localizer course is aligned with the centerline of the runway. (4)
And the glideslope path is at a constant angle to the threshold of the runway.) (5) During the
approach to the runway, deviation pointers in the course indicators show the pilot in which direction
the aircraft must go:
- Left or right (for localizer)
- Up or down (for glideslope)

2013-01-15
(6) This data about deviations from the localizer course and glideslope path comes from two VHF
transceivers, which transmit these...
Note that in the improved version the text is divided into two paragraphs: Paragraph 1 (sentences 1
thru 5) - “Data to help the pilot”, and paragraph 2 (sentence 6) - “How this data is transmitted”.
In the improved version, the paragraphs start with the topic sentences which clearly state what is
going to be discussed. The information is built up slowly and is logically connected.
Because the data in the improved version is built up slowly and is logically connected, there are no
sudden jumps from one subtopic to another - the paragraph is coherent. Note that the last
sentence in paragraph 1 also links back to the first sentence. This also helps to make the
paragraph coherent.

To build up information in a paragraph slowly, logically, and coherently, you must show the
relationship between the ideas given in different sentences. You can do this by using connecting
words such as “thus”, “but”, “and”, “this”, “that”, “those”, “in the same mode”, “so”, “at the same
time”, “as a result”(refer to Section 4), and also by careful repetition of keywords.
RULE: 6.6 Use keywords to make the relationship between sentences and paragraphs
clear.
We can use the “improved version” in the last example to show the use of keywords. In that
example we see that keywords are repeated, together with connecting words, to relate to the
previously presented information. These keywords and connecting words are underlined in the list
below.
(1) The Instrument Landing System in the (2) This system shows the pilot the deviations
aircraft shows data that helps the pilot from the “localizer” course and the
during the approach to the runway. “glideslope” path.
The parentheses around sentences 3 and 4 make these two sentences into one unit that is

“glideslope” path.
(4) And the glideslope path is at a constant

NOTE: “Runway” in sentence 3 connects to “runway” in sentence 1.

Because sentences 2, 3, and 4 are connected, sentence 5 must also be connected.
(2) This system shows the pilot the deviations (5) During the approach to the runway,
from the “localizer” course and the deviation pointers in the course indicators
“glideslope” path. show the pilot in which direction the aircraft

Sentences 1 and 5 are also connected to make the paragraph more coherent:
(1) The Instrument Landing System in the (5) During the approach to the runway,
aircraft shows data that helps the pilot deviation pointers in the course indicators
during the approach to the runway. show the pilot in which direction the aircraft
must go:
In the same way as sentences are connected, a sequence of paragraphs must also be logically
and coherently connected. In the example, we can see that there are connecting words from one
paragraph to the next:
Paragraph 1 (Sentences 1 thru 5): deviation, data, localizer, glideslope
Paragraph 2 (Sentence 6): This data about deviations from the localizer course and glideslope
path comes from two VHF transceivers, which transmit these...
Paragraph length
Because different topics require different amounts of detail, paragraphs will need to be different in
length. We cannot give a formula for deciding the best length for a paragraph, but it must not be
too long if it is to stay simple and readable.
Besides showing the logic of a text, paragraphs can be used to make text more interesting for your
reader. Different lengths of paragraphs help you to keep your reader's attention.
Also, different lengths of paragraphs have different uses:
- Longer paragraphs let you discuss more complex subjects, but you must make sure that
they are coherent and discuss only one subject.

2013-01-15
- Shorter paragraphs let you discuss less complex subjects. But too many short paragraphs
will destroy the logic and the relationship of ideas. You could overwhelm your reader.

If you try to give new or complex information too quickly, your readers may not be able to absorb it
all. Do not “overload” your texts, but present information slowly.
Example:
Non-STE: A CSD per engine drives the AC generators at 8000 rpm constant regardless of
engine rpm or generator load difference.
STE: Each engine has a CSD to operate the AC generator at a constant speed of 8000
rpm. Differences in engine rpm and generator load have no effect on this constant
speed.

Section 7 - Warnings, cautions, and notes

RULE: 7.3 If necessary, add a brief explanation to a warning or a caution to give a clear idea of
the possible risk.
RULE: 7.5 If a condition is necessary before the technician continues, put the condition first in
the warning or caution.
How to write notes
Why do we have warnings, cautions, and notes?

Warnings and cautions tell the users that parts of the procedures can be dangerous and/or cause
damage.
A warning means that injury or death is possible if the instructions are not obeyed.
A caution means that damage to equipment is possible.
Notes are added to give more information, usually in a procedure. They should not be
written in the form of instructions. In other words, notes should not contain a command.
The examples of warnings and cautions in this document are in upper case. However, Simplified
Technical English (STE) does not regulate formatting. Refer to your technical publication
specifications or other official directives.
Examples:
WARNING: BEFORE YOU FILL THE LIQUID OXYGEN SYSTEM, PUT ON PROTECTIVE
CLOTHING. LIQUID OXYGEN IS DANGEROUS.
CAUTION: BEFORE YOU OPERATE THE GROUND TEST UNIT, MAKE SURE THAT
THE PRESSURE REGULATOR IS AT ZERO. THIS WILL HELP PREVENT
DAMAGE TO THE UNIT.
NOTE: The gyroscope will become stable after approximately 15 seconds.

2013-01-15

Warnings and cautions must start with a simple and clear command. This command tells the users
what they must do to avoid the danger and/or damage. Do not hide this command as a general
comment with other background information. Start with the command, and then give the
supporting information.
Example:
Non-STE: WARNING: THE SYNTHETIC LUBRICATING OIL USED IN THIS ENGINE
CONTAINS ADDITIVES WHICH, IF ALLOWED TO COME INTO
CONTACT WITH THE SKIN FOR PROLONGED PERIODS, CAN BE
TOXIC THROUGH ABSORPTION.
STE: WARNING: DO NOT GET THE ENGINE OIL ON YOUR SKIN. THE OIL IS
POISONOUS. IT CAN GO THROUGH YOUR SKIN AND INTO YOUR
BODY.

You must tell the users exactly what they must do and what can happen, to get their attention
immediately. Do not write the warning or caution as a general comment.
Example:
Non-STE: WARNING: FAILURE TO DEACTIVATE THE THRUST REVERSER ISOLATION
VALVE FOR GROUND MAINTENANCE COULD RESULT IN
INADVERTENT THRUST REVERSER OPERATION WITH POSSIBLE
INJURY TO PERSONNEL AND/OR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT.
STE: WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THE THRUST-REVERSER ISOLATION VALVE IS

CLOSED. IF THIS VALVE IS OPEN, THE THRUST REVERSER CAN
OPERATE ACCIDENTALLY. THIS CAN CAUSE INJURY TO
PERSONNEL AND/OR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT.
Example:
Non-STE: CAUTION: EXTREME CLEANLINESS OF OXYGEN TUBES IS IMPERATIVE.
STE: WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THE OXYGEN TUBES ARE FULLY CLEAN. THIS
WILL HELP TO PREVENT CONTAMINATION AND EXPLOSIONS.
RULE: 7.3 If necessary, add a brief explanation to a warning or a caution to give a clear
idea of the possible risk.
A warning or caution will be more effective if a brief explanation is added. An explanation gives the
user a reason for the warning or caution. It also gives a clear idea of the possible risk if the user
does not obey the instructions.

2013-01-15
Example:
Non-STE: CAUTION: THE GRABBER MUST BE ENGAGED BEFORE THE THRUST
REVERSER HALVES ARE OPENED.
STE: CAUTION: BEFORE YOU OPEN THE THRUST REVERSER HALVES, MAKE
SURE THAT YOU ENGAGE THE GRABBER. IF THE GRABBER IS
NOT ENGAGED, DAMAGE TO THE PYLON STRUCTURE CAN
OCCUR.
Example:
Non-STE: CAUTION: USE MORE THAN ONE HOLD-OPEN ROD WHEN OPENING THE
THRUST REVERSER.
STE: CAUTION: MAKE SURE THAT YOU USE MORE THAN ONE HOLD-OPEN ROD
TO HOLD THE THRUST REVERSER IN POSITION. THIS WILL HELP
PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE THRUST REVERSER.

The brief explanation and risk statements that you add to a command will help you to identify it
clearly as a warning or as a caution.
Example:
Non-STE: CAUTION: EXTREME CLEANLINESS OF OXYGEN TUBES IS IMPERATIVE.
STE: WARNING: MAKE SURE THAT THE OXYGEN TUBES ARE FULLY CLEAN.
OXYGEN AND OIL OR GREASE MAKE AN EXPLOSIVE MIXTURE.
AN EXPLOSION CAN CAUSE DEATH OR INJURY TO PERSONNEL
AND/OR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT.
RULE: 7.5 If a condition is necessary before the technician continues, put the condition
first in the warning or caution.
If there is a condition that is necessary before the technician obeys the command, put the condition
first to make sure that the technician will see it.
Example:
Non-STE: CAUTION: THE EMERGENCY POWER AND LIGHT SWITCHES SHOULD BE IN
THE “OFF” POSITION PRIOR TO OPENING THE CIRCUIT
BREAKERS.

2013-01-15
STE: CAUTION: BEFORE YOU OPEN THE CIRCUIT BREAKERS, MAKE SURE THAT
THE EMERGENCY POWER AND LIGHT SWITCHES ARE IN THE
“OFF” POSITION. THIS WILL HELP TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE
EQUIPMENT.
Example:
Non-STE: CAUTION: MAKE SURE THE AREAS AROUND THE LEFT AND RIGHT
AILERONS ARE CLEAR BEFORE MOVING AILERONS AND AILERON
CONTROL TABS.
STE: WARNING: BEFORE YOU MOVE THE AILERONS, MAKE SURE THAT THE AREA
AROUND THE AILERONS IS CLEAR. THIS WILL HELP TO PREVENT
INJURIES TO PERSONNEL AND DAMAGE TO THE EQUIPMENT.
How to write notes

Write notes so that you give additional information that will help the technician to obey the
instructions written in the work steps. You must therefore not include the imperative form of the
verb, otherwise the note becomes a work step.
Example:
NOTE: The gyroscope will become stable after approximately 15 seconds.
If you think that you need to use the imperative, consider writing the note as a procedural step.
Example:
Non-STE: NOTE: Make sure that the avionics ventilation continues to operate correctly.
STE: (6) Make sure that the avionics ventilation continues to operate correctly.

Section 8 - Punctuation and word counts

RULE: 8.2 When you count words for sentence length, the colon or the dash has the effect of a
full stop (period).
RULE: 8.3 Use the hyphen (-) as a joining signal
RULE: 8.4 When you count words for sentence length, each word in a hyphenated group counts
as a separate word unless it is a prefix.
RULE: 8.6 When you count words for sentence length, text in parentheses counts as a new
sentence.
RULE: 8.8 When you count words for sentence length, an alphanumeric identifier counts as one
word.
RULE: 8.9 When you count words for sentence length, an abbreviation or an acronym counts as
one word.
RULE: 8.10 When you count words for sentence length, titles, placards and quoted text count as
one word.
RULE: 8.11 Do not use semicolons.
Why do we use punctuation marks?

Punctuation marks show how parts of the text are related to each other. Punctuation can make
your text more readable and the meaning more obvious. But the reader will find it more difficult to
understand your text if there is too much punctuation or too little. If you want to write clearly and
help your reader, you must use punctuation marks skillfully and not by personal preference. In
“modern” writing, punctuation is not used as carefully as it could be. In Simplified Technical English
(STE), however, it is essential that you use it correctly.
This section does not give you a complete guide to punctuation. More information about
punctuation can be obtained from official reference books such as US Government Printing Office

2013-01-15
Style Manual, The Chicago Manual of Style, The Gregg Reference Manual, or J. Kirkman's Full
Marks.

The colon is used to show that information is to follow. The information may be a summary, a list,
or a complete sentence. You must introduce this information with a lead-in or conditional phrase
followed by a colon. A dash separates words and always has at least one space between it and
the words that it separates. Refer to Section 4 for vertical list techniques.
Example:
When you set the equipment to ON:
- Adjust the BRT switch to MAX
- Adjust the CONT switch to MIN.
RULE: 8.2 When you count words for sentence length, the colon or the dash has the effect
of a full stop (period).
When you use colons and dashes in vertical lists, these punctuation marks show the start and the
end of the “sentences” for word count purposes. Refer to Sections 5 and 6 for sentence length
limits related to procedures and descriptive writing, respectively.
Example:
When you set the equipment to ON: (7 words)
- Adjust the BRT switch to MAX (6 words)
- Adjust the CONT switch to MIN. (6 words)
RULE: 8.3 Use the hyphen (-) as a joining signal

Use the hyphen as a joining signal to show the relationship between two or more words. This
makes phrases or word clusters easier to read. (Refer to Section 2 for more information about how
and when to use hyphens to clarify long noun clusters.)
The main objective when you use a hyphen is to:
- Show your reader which words are closely related
- Make sure that your reader does not have to read the same long noun cluster again and again.
The list and examples that follow give you some general guidelines about how to use hyphens to
join words.
1. Two-word terms used together as adjectives:

low-altitude flight, high-pressure chamber, air-conditioned compartment, transmitter-receiver
system, quick-acting clamp, clamshell-type flaps
2. Two-word fractions or numbers:
forty-seven, ninety-ninth, one hundred and sixty-two, three-sixteenths, one thirty-second

2013-01-15
3. Adjectives that consist of three or more words:

three-to-one ratio, trial-and-error method, stop-to-stop travel, soap-and-water solution
4. Terms that consist of a capital letter or a number, and a noun:
L-shaped bracket, T-square measurement, four U-beams, 3-prong connector, 180-grit
abrasive cloth
5. Compound verbs that consist of a verb plus a noun, as in Technical Verbs:
to die-cast, to arc-weld, to fusion-bond
6. Terms in which the prefix ends with a vowel and the root word begins with a vowel:
de-energize, pre-amplifier, de-ice, anti-ice, pre-engage
7. Terms in which two one-syllable words are written together but the first is not a simple
modifier of the second:
run-on torque, cut-in speed
Do not use hyphens as an excuse to put more modifiers than necessary in front of a noun. Too
many modifiers will make it difficult for your reader to understand. Refer to Section 2 for more
information about noun clusters.
Example:
Non-STE: A lightweight, one-piece hydraulic jack...
STE: A one-piece hydraulic jack that is lightweight...
RULE: 8.4 When you count words for sentence length, each word in a hyphenated group
counts as a separate word unless it is a prefix.
Hyphenated words count as individual words (as if there were no hyphens). A prefix is not a word
by itself. Therefore, a word with a prefix counts as only one word.
Example:
The air-conditioning system inspection is not part of the pre-flight check.
“Air-conditioning” counts as two words, but “pre-flight” counts as only one word.
Example:
The bulkhead-to-bulkhead distance between the anti-ice connectors must not be more than
two meters.
“Bulkhead-to-bulkhead” counts as three words, but “anti-ice” counts as one word.

Examples:
Remove the valve (refer to Fig. 1).

2013-01-15
Disconnect the hoses (2) and (12) from the suction ejector (6).
Open the left (right) access panel L42 (R42).
Increase the pressure slowly (not more than one turn each minute).
(1) Close the isolating valve.
RULE: 8.6 When you count words for sentence length, text in parentheses counts as a
new sentence.
If the text inside the parentheses is more than one word, the text counts as a new sentence.
Example:
The Instrument Landing System (usually referred to as ILS) has...
If the text inside the parentheses is only an acronym, a locator related to an illustration, or a
single-term identifier such as a part number, count this text as part of the main sentence.
Examples:
The VHF omnidirectional range-beacon (VOR) is...
Tag the connector (4, Figure 15).
Install the rig pin (P-60) in the slat control bellcrank.

Count a number as one word. Count a unit of measurement as a word if it is written in full. If the
unit is an abbreviation or a symbol, do not count it.
Examples:
Use a 10-meter mooring cable. (6 words)
Use a 10 m mooring cable. (5 words)
Make sure that the oil temperature is not more than 75 Degrees C. (12 words)
Make sure that the oil temperature is not more than 75° C. (11 words)
RULE: 8.8 When you count words for sentence length, an alphanumeric identifier counts
as one word.
Count alphanumeric identifiers as one word.
Example:
Examine the No. 1 Bearing Installation. (5 words - “No. 1” counts as one word)
Open and tag Circuit Breaker 36L7. (6 words - “36L7” counts as one word)
RULE: 8.9 When you count words for sentence length, an abbreviation or an acronym
counts as one word.

2013-01-15
Count an abbreviation or an acronym as one word.
Example:
Monitor the EPR indications. (4 words)
Monitor the indications of the Engine Pressure Ratio (EPR). (9 words)
RULE: 8.10 When you count words for sentence length, titles, placards and quoted text
count as one word.
Example:
This topic is for the inspection of SSI No. 57-21-16, “Outer wing bottom skin lower surface
spanwise skin joints at stringer 13 and stringer 20 between Rib 12 and Rib 27 excluding areas
covered by flap track fairings 3, 4 and 5.”
The text quoted above is definitely not written in STE. But this text is the title of the Structurally
Significant Item (SSI) and cannot be changed.
RULE: 8.11 Do not use semicolons (;).
In everyday English, the semicolon is often used incorrectly to join sentences which, for clarity,
really should stay separate. Semicolons can easily make you write more than one instruction per
sentence, where this is not permitted. For these reasons, do not use semicolons when you write in
STE.
Example:
Non-STE: (1) Examine the removed components; replace the damaged ones.
STE: (1) Examine the removed components for damage.

(2) If necessary, replace the component(s).

Section 9 - Writing practices

RULE: 9.1 Use a different construction to rewrite sentences in Simplified Technical English when
a word-for-word replacement is not sufficient.
RULE: 9.2 When you combine words to make a phrase, make sure that the words continue to
obey the meanings given to them in the Dictionary (Part 2).
RULE: 9.3 Use the Dictionary (Part 2) correctly to get the correct words, meanings, and parts of
speech.
RULE: 9.1 Use a different construction to rewrite sentences in Simplified Technical
English when a word-for-word replacement is not sufficient.
Sometimes, to translate an instruction from “everyday English” into clear and correct Simplified
Technical English (STE), you cannot simply change one or two words.
The approved vocabulary of STE is a controlled one. That is, apart from Technical Names and
Technical Verbs, you can only use words that are approved in the dictionary. And you can only use
these words with certain meanings and as certain parts of speech. (Refer to Section 1).
Because of this, you will not always be able to write a sentence as you would like to. You may have
to replace a “not approved” word with an approved word that is a different part of speech. Or you
may even have to use a different phrase. This is called a “different construction” in this
specification. To help you choose approved words, the dictionary in Part 2 is like a thesaurus. For
words that are not approved, it suggests approved alternatives.
NOTE: These alternatives are only suggestions. They are satisfactory in the examples shown, but
not necessarily in your text.
Sometimes, it is possible to simply replace one word by another. This is often (but not always) the
case with alternatives that are the same part of speech as the “not approved” word.
Example:
NOT: A value of 2 mm is acceptable. (“Acceptable” is not approved.)
WRITE: A value of 2 mm is permitted.
However, even in such apparently simple cases, you must make sure that the alternative you
choose is suitable. Make sure that it does not change the meaning of the sentence, and that it does
not sound clumsy.
In many other cases, however, it will not be possible to do a simple word-for-word replacement,
and you will have to use a different construction. There can be three reasons for this:
Reason 1: The alternative you choose means that you have to change the grammatical
construction of the sentence. (You will find many examples of this in the Dictionary.)

2013-01-15
Example:
Instead of: Sight gage oil level must be visible at all times during the test.
WRITE: Make sure that you can see the oil level on the sight gage during the test.
In this example, “visible” (adjective) is not approved and was replaced by “see” (verb). But to be
able to use “see”, it was necessary to replace “must be” by “make sure that you can”.
As in word-for-word replacements, you must make sure that the word you choose is suitable.
Example:
Instead of: Cycle the unit twice to remove air from the lines. (verb)
WRITE: Operate the unit for two cycles to remove air from the lines. (noun)
NOT: Make two cycles of the unit to get air out of the lines.
(CYCLE is a function of the operation of the unit - that is, what it does, not what it is.)
Reason 2: Direct substitution of the unapproved word leads to something that is meaningless.
Example:
Instead of: This compound is semi-toxic.
WRITE: This compound is poisonous in some concentrations.
NOT: This compound is half-poisonous.
(Something is either poisonous or it is not poisonous. It cannot be “half-poisonous”.)
Example:
Instead of: Without this modification, service life may be uncertain.
WRITE: Without this modification, it is possible that the service life will be shorter than usual.
NOT: Without this modification, you will not be sure of the service life.
(“Uncertain” means either “unknown” or “not sure”.)
Reason 3: The approved alternatives that you find do not convey the meaning that you intend or
you do not find an entry in the dictionary for the word that you want to use.
STE encourages you to make your instructions specific (refer to Section 1). Therefore, if a word or
group of words is too abstract, or if it has different meanings, you will find it impossible to do a
word-for-word replacement satisfactorily. In such cases, it is useful to rethink what you want to
say, to decide what is important and to use different words to express the same idea.
Page 1-9-2 Part 1 - Writing Rules Issue 6

2013-01-15
Example:
Instead of: If the air intake flap is failed, deactivate air inlet valve before next flight.
WRITE: If the air intake flap is not serviceable, lock the air inlet valve in the fully open position
before the next flight.
or
WRITE If the air intake flap is not serviceable, do the Deactivation Procedure of the air inlet
valve before the next flight. (Refer to XX-XX-XX, Page Block XXX.)
NOT: If the air intake flap is not serviceable, disconnect (or stop, or isolate) the air inlet valve
before the next flight.
In this example, “deactivate” is not approved. The dictionary suggests the alternatives
DISCONNECT, STOP, and ISOLATE. In some contexts, these alternatives would be satisfactory.
However, in this example:
- DISCONNECT would be technically incorrect.
- STOP and ISOLATE would be meaningless.
You must ask yourself:
- “What does ‘deactivate’ really mean in this context? ” or
- “What must the operator do specifically?”
You will then realize that the deactivation is the result of a specific action: locking the air inlet valve
in the fully open position. So, if you tell the operator to do just that, your instruction will be
meaningful. The operator will do the correct action without wasting time or wondering what you
really meant. And the operator will get the desired result.
In the previous examples, we have seen how you can write around a single not approved word in a
sentence, and how you can reformulate a sentence. But frequently, there will be more than just one
unapproved word or construction that you want to write around. And to reformulate an idea, you will
not always be able to limit the changes to a single sentence. You will have to change other parts of
the text as well.
Example:
Instead of: If cracks are detected during this procedure, the operator must perform the repair
within a certain number of flight hours depending on crack length. See table below.
Crack length detected Time before repair (flight hours)

L> 1000
L = ... 2000
L< ... 3000
WRITE: If you find cracks, refer to the table that follows:
If the crack is this length Do the repair before (flight hours)

L> 1000
L = ... 2000
L< ... 3000

2013-01-15
In this example:
a) The words that are underlined are not approved in STE (refer to Rule 1.1).
b) The first verb, “are detected”, is in the passive voice (refer to Rule 3.7).
c) The first sentence is 24 words long (refer to Rule 5.1)
d) An article is missing in front of “crack length” (refer to Rule 2.3).
e) And although this is an instruction, the verb is not in the imperative (“command”)
form (refer to Rule 5.4).
It would be possible to replace “perform” by “do”, “within” by “in”, and “certain” by “some” as
suggested in the dictionary:
If cracks are detected during this procedure, the operator must do the repair in some flight
hours depending on crack length.
This would keep the same construction, but it is not good English.
To replace “are detected” (unapproved verb and passive), you must change the construction: “If
you find cracks ...”. But this does not change the construction of the remainder of the sentence.
To replace “below”, you must make a small change to the construction: “Refer to the table that
follows”.
But to write around “depending” you must completely reformulate the sentence. You cannot simply
use the alternative suggested in the dictionary: IF. (“If” what?)
A possible rewrite of the first sentence would be:
If you find cracks during this procedure, do the repair before the number of flight hours
applicable to the length of the crack.
But there are still too many words (23). In addition, part of the information is also in the table, so it
is not necessary to repeat it. Thus, the solution that is the most easily understandable (and also the
most economical) is to put the instructions in the titles of the table, as shown in the WRITE version
above.
Remember: the goal of STE is to help the users understand what they read.

RULE: 9.2 When you combine words to make a phrase, make sure that the words continue
to obey the meanings given to them in the Dictionary (Part 2).
Some phrases in English have meanings which are different from the meanings assigned to the
individual words in the STE dictionary (Part 2). When this occurs, the phrase is not permitted in
STE.
Example:
Instead of: When the fire is put out, close the valve.
WRITE: When the fire is extinguished, close the valve.
(PUT is approved in STE, and OUT is approved also. However, in the example, “put
out” has a different meaning from the approved meanings for PUT and OUT given in the
dictionary.)

2013-01-15
Example:
Instead of: Clean up the damage with a fine stone.
WRITE: Remove the damage with a fine stone.
(CLEAN is approved in STE, and UP is approved also. However, in the example, “clean
up” has a different meaning from the approved meanings for CLEAN and UP given in
the dictionary.)
Example:
Instead of: Find out why the problem occurred.
WRITE: Find the cause of the problem.
(FIND is approved in STE, and OUT is approved also. However, in the example, “find
out” has a different meaning from the approved meanings for FIND and OUT given in
the dictionary.)
Example:
Instead of: This compound can give off poisonous fumes.
WRITE: This compound can release poisonous fumes.
(GIVE is approved in STE, and OUT is approved also. However, in the example, “give
off” has a different meaning from the approved meanings for GIVE and OFF given in the
dictionary.)
RULE: 9.3 Use the Dictionary (Part 2) correctly to get the correct words, meanings, and
parts of speech.
Be careful with STE words which have very restricted definitions. STE words are typically
“concrete” rather than “abstract”. If a word is intended to describe maintenance actions or the
behavior of mechanical equipment, do not use the word to describe something in “abstract” terms.
Be sure to use the dictionary correctly. It is possible that the words you use are approved, but that
the meaning is different from what you want in your sentence.
Example:
Instead of: This page transmits Revision 6 of CMM 36-21-02.
WRITE: This page sends Revision 6 of CMM 36-21-02.
(TRANSMIT is an approved word, but only with the meaning of “send energy or a
signal”.)
Example:
Instead of: This regulation extends to all units.
WRITE: This regulation is applicable to all units.
(EXTEND is for physical movement or range only.)
Example:
Instead of: Do not turn the nose wheel at too sharp an angle.
WRITE: Do not turn the nose wheel at too acute an angle.
(SHARP is only for objects that can cut or pierce.)

2013-01-15
Example:
Instead of: An overload will break the circuit.
WRITE: Too much load will disconnect the circuit.
(BREAK is only to make something “to ‘separate’ by force”)
Example:
Instead of: When the pressure goes down, lift the cover.
WRITE: When the pressure decreases, lift the cover.
(GOES DOWN is a phrase that describes a descending indicator [like a gage needle or
flag]. DECREASE is better because it describes the pressure, not the indicator that
monitors the pressure.)
Example:
Instead of: See if the probe went through more than 500 degrees C.
WRITE: Find if the temperature of the probe increased to 500 degrees C or more.
(GO THROUGH is acceptable only for something that moves through something, not for
something that is merely exposed to some condition. Note that in this example “SEE” is
not used correctly either; unless probe inspection is completely visual, it will take more
than just “seeing” to determine the temperature of the probe.)
Example:
Instead of: Turn off the power.
WRITE: Stop the power supply.
(TURN is approved when you use it to “move something around its axis”. If you do not
“turn” something to stop the power supply in this example, do not use the word “turn”).
Example:
Instead of: Let down the rear end of the aircraft.
WRITE: Lower the aft end of the aircraft.
(LET is to “permit” something, but with DOWN it is not a good phrase.)
Example:
Instead of: Do not let the pressure go below (or above) 20 psi.
WRITE: Do not let the pressure become less than (or more than) 20 psi.
(ABOVE and BELOW are for physical position only and not for numerical limits.)
Example:
Instead of: Wear protective clothing.
WRITE: Use (or put on) protective clothing.
(WEAR is only used for damage by friction.)
Example:
Instead of: Be careful not to damage the sleeve.
WRITE: Be careful not to cause damage to the sleeve
(DAMAGE is not approved as a verb.)

2013-01-15
Example:
Instead of: When you work with cleaning agents, use breathing equipment.
WRITE: When you do work with cleaning agents, use breathing equipment.
(WORK is not approved as a verb.)
Example:
Instead of: Install the cover with the help of a second person.
WRITE: Install the cover with the aid of a second person.
(HELP is approved as a verb but not as a noun.)
There are Approved and Not Approved examples in the dictionary (Part 2) that will help you to use
the words, meanings, and part of speech correctly. When you look at the dictionary examples,
always remember that they may not reflect what you want to write and may not be necessarily
applicable in your context. Always consider the use of different constructions (Rule 9.1).
General recommendations
General Recommendations (GR) are not STE rules but are intended to help writers avoid common
mistakes and ambiguities in English writing. GRs are numbered separately as GR-1, GR-2, etc.
GR-1 The conjunction THAT

In English, you can use the word THAT to introduce subordinate clauses after verbs such as “make
sure”, “recommend”, and “show”. Although English grammar allows the omission of “that”, the word
helps readers to locate the beginning of a subordinate clause. Inclusion of this conjunction also
helps translation and Natural Language Processing (NLP), because the equivalent word cannot be
omitted in many foreign languages.
Example:
Instead of: Make sure the valve is open.
WRITE: Make sure that the valve is open.
Example:
Instead of: The gage shows the reservoir is full.
WRITE: The gage shows that the reservoir is full.

GR-2 The pronoun THIS

When you use THIS (pn) in a sentence, make sure that it is clear what the word refers to. It is
possible that the reader will not know whether the preceding phrase or its opposite is referred to.
Example:
Instead of: Make sure that the cover is not locked (this can cause damage to the probe).
WRITE: Make sure that the cover is not locked. If the cover is locked, this can cause damage to
the probe.
or
If the cover is locked, damage to the probe can occur.
In the sentence Make sure that the cover is not locked (this can cause damage to the probe), it is
not clear what THIS refers to. It is better to write Make sure that the cover is not locked. If the cover
is locked, this can cause damage to the probe. You can also avoid the use of THIS, as in: If the
cover is locked, damage to the probe can occur.
Example:
Instead of: Do not use crocus cloth on aluminum parts. If you do this, you can cause failure of
aluminum parts. Crocus cloth contains ferrous oxide.
WRITE: Do not use crocus cloth on aluminum parts. Crocus cloth contains ferrous oxide and can
cause failure of aluminum parts.
GR-3 The preposition WITH

WITH can have the definition of either association or relationship (Lift this with an assistant) and
means or instruments (Lift this with a hoist). Make sure that, when you use WITH in a sentence,
the word does not cause confusion. If confusion is possible, try to find a different way to express
your meaning.
Example:
Instead of: Lift the aircraft at the maximum takeoff weight with passengers.
WRITE: Lift the aircraft at the maximum takeoff weight (passenger weight included).
Example:
Instead of: Make sure that there is no contact at stop (1) with hydraulic pressure applied.
WRITE: Make sure that the XXXX does not touch the stop (1) when you apply hydraulic
pressure.
Example:
Instead of: Seal the opening with the manufacturer’s instructions.
WRITE: Seal the opening as specified by the manufacturer.

Introduction
General
The dictionary shows all the words that are approved for use in Simplified Technical English (STE),
except Technical Names (TN) and Technical Verbs (TV) (refer to Part 1, Section 1). It also shows
examples of their usage. A selection of not approved words is also included, with examples to
show how to use other words or different constructions.
All the words in this dictionary are from maintenance technical manuals. But not all the words used
in these manuals are listed. If a word is not in the STE dictionary, it is not approved (unless it is a
Technical Name or a Technical Verb).
NOTE: If you think it is necessary to include other words, you can send a change form. (Refer
to Part 1, General introduction). But do not use these words, until they are listed in the
next issue of the specification.
How to use the dictionary

The dictionary has four columns:
- The keyword and the part of speech
- The approved meaning or alternatives for each keyword
- Approved examples
- Not approved examples.
Example:
Keyword Approved meaning/
(part of speech) ALTERNATIVES APPROVED EXAMPLE Not approved
acceptable (adj) PERMITTED A VALUE OF 2 mm is A value of 2 mm is

PERMITTED. acceptable.
Column 1: Keyword (part of speech)

All keywords are in bold typeface.
A keyword in UPPER CASE letters shows that you can use this word (it is approved).
Examples:
ABOUT, ABOVE
A keyword in lower case letters shows that you must use another word or a different construction.
Example:
rapidly

2013-01-15
The part of speech of the keyword is in parentheses. Use an approved word only as the part of
speech shown (refer to Part 1, Section 1).
There are eight parts of speech used in STE:
1. verb (v): A word that describes a state of being or an action. Its form (present, past, future)
tells you when the action occurs.
Examples: INCREASE, maintain, MELT, secure, HEAR
2. noun (n): A word that is the name of a person, place, object, idea, quality, or activity.
Examples: CAPTAIN, CABIN, PUMP, APPROVAL, THICKNESS, MAINTENANCE
3. pronoun (pn): A word that replaces a noun or noun phrase.

Examples: IT, neither, WHO, SOME, EACH, whichever
4. article (art): A word that tells you whether a noun phrase is definite (the) or indefinite (a,
an).
Examples: THE, A, AN
5. adjective (adj): A word that modifies a noun or noun phrase. It describes the kind, size,
color, number, etc.
Examples: THICK, LARGE, AMBER, TWO
6. adverb (adv): A word that modifies a verb, an adjective, or another adverb. It describes
how, where, when, how often, how much, etc.
Examples: CAREFULLY, HERE, THEN, FREQUENTLY, FULLY
7. preposition (pre): A word that shows the relationship of a pronoun, noun, or noun phrase
to the rest of the sentence.
Examples: IN, INBOARD OF, BETWEEN, BEFORE
8. conjunction (con): A word or phrase that joins words, phrases, and clauses.
Examples: THAT, UNTIL, WHILE
In addition, there are two approved prefixes (prefix) (PRE- and POST-). Refer to the dictionary
entries.

2013-01-15
Forms of approved keywords

Nouns: Nouns are shown only in their singular form, but plurals are permitted (unless a note
tells you otherwise).
Example:
AGENT (n)
(the plural AGENTS is permitted)
Verbs: Verbs are shown in the forms that are permitted (refer to Part 1, Section 3). Do not
use verbs in other forms.
Example:
ADAPT (v), ADAPTS, ADAPTED, ADAPTED
There are two occurrences of ADAPTED shown in the dictionary entries, one to show that the form
can be used for the simple past, and one to show that it can be used as the past participle. This is
the case for most of the approved verbs in the dictionary. But there are some approved verbs, such
as OVERRIDE, where the simple past form and the past participle form are different: OVERRODE,
OVERRIDDEN.
Adjectives: Adjectives are shown in their basic form, with their comparative and superlative
forms, if permitted, in parentheses.
Example:
SLOW (adj)
(SLOWER, SLOWEST)
Adverbs: Approved adverbs are listed separately. Do not use an adverb if it is not listed as
approved.
Examples:
SLOW (adj) and SLOWLY (adv) are both approved. SLOWLY is listed separately in its correct
alphabetical sequence.
BAD (adj) is approved but badly (adv) is not. It is listed separately, but as not approved.
Therefore, you must not use it.

2013-01-15
Column 2: Approved meaning/ALTERNATIVES

(approved words)
This column gives the meaning of an approved keyword as we use it in STE. Some words have
other meanings in everyday English. You must not use approved words with these everyday
meanings. Use only the approved meaning.
Example:
BEHIND (pre) In a position at the rear of
When it is possible, the approved meanings and notes are written in STE. But sometimes it is only
possible to explain the meanings of approved words with an unapproved word or words.
Example:
ABOUT (pre) Concerned with
The word “concerned” is not approved in the STE dictionary, but it is necessary to define the word
ABOUT.
If a Technical Name or a Technical Verb is used in an approved meaning, this word is identified as
(TN) or (TV).
Example:
ABRASIVE (adj) That can remove material by friction (TN)
Column 2: Approved meaning/ALTERNATIVES

(not approved words)
For words that are not approved, this column gives approved alternatives that you can use instead.
These alternatives are in UPPER CASE letters. It is important for you to know that these
alternatives are only suggestions to help you. You can probably think of other alternatives
(approved words) yourself. Do not use the suggested alternative if it will change the meaning of the
sentence, or cause you to write nonsense or unidiomatic English (refer to Part 1, Section 9).
Example:
actuate (v) START, OPERATE
It is possible that you will see the words “command verb construction” in this column. This means
that you must use DO or another action verb instead of the not approved verb.
Example:
perform (v) DO or other command verb construction
Non-STE: Perform leak test.

STE: Do the leak test.

2013-01-15
Non-STE: Perform measurement of voltage between pins A and B.

STE: Measure the voltage between pins A and B.
If the suggested alternative for a not approved word is a different part of speech than the keyword,
the part of speech for the suggested alternative will be in parentheses.
Example:
maintain (v) KEEP, MAINTENANCE (n)
Where applicable, the first suggested alternative is the same part of speech of the not approved
keyword.
Column 2: NOTES
In some places, we use notes to give the users of the dictionary more information.
Example:
ABOUT (pre) Concerned with
NOTE: For other meanings,
use: APPROXIMATELY, AROUND.
In this example, the only approved meaning of ABOUT is “concerned with”. The note suggests
other approved alternatives for other “everyday” English meanings of the word.
Where the notes restrict the meaning of approved words, we give Approved and Not Approved
examples in Column 3 and 4 respectively.
Column 3: APPROVED EXAMPLE

This column shows how to use the approved keyword, or how to use the suggested approved
alternatives to replace not approved keywords.
NOTE: The approved examples are only suggestions. But if you can find another way to
express what you want to say in correct STE, you are free to do so.
Examples:
A (art) Function word: A FUEL PUMP IS
Indefinite article INSTALLED IN
ZONE 10.
main (adj) PRIMARY THE PRIMARY CAUSE

OF VALVE FAILURE IS
CONTAMINATION OF
THE HYDRAULIC FLUID.

2013-01-15
Column 4: Not approved

This column shows examples of text that is not written in STE and that uses the not approved
keyword. When the keyword is approved, this column is blank.
Example:
main (adj) PRIMARY THE PRIMARY CAUSE The main cause
OF VALVE FAILURE IS of valve failure
CONTAMINATION OF is contamination
