Write that essay sentences

The 'W' sentence - makes the sentence sound thoughtful and knowledgeable 

Remember the rule: not every 'w' word works as a sentence starter. remember to put the comma in when the parts affected by your 'w' word are finished.

Examples - who, while, whereas, when, where, what, whilst, and with.

Whilst the class was eating, I read my book.

Where you like chocolate, others prefer candy.

When it starts raining, you should go inside.

When you are bored, you should be helping others.

While you are playing sports, you should be concentrating.

While people are talking, you should be listening.

When you are in a test, you should be focusing.

With money, people buy valuables

When people are busy, you shouldn't be bothering them

When you are late, you should be hurrying up


The 'Ing' sentence

Use the -ing version of the verb e.g to run - running

Remember the rule - when you finish your - ing prase, place a comma then write the rest of the sentence

some - ing word - listening, watching, running, realizing, analyzing, emerging, grasping, speaking, signalling, exposing, gossiping, and acknowledging.

examples -

The 'ed' sentence

Use the ed version of the verb e.g to jog - jogged. This makes for a punchy start to your sentences.

Remember the rule - when you finish your -ed phrase, place a comma, then write the rest of the sentence.

Some -ed words - frustrated, surprised, excited, committed, undaunted, determined, overpowered, concerned, cornered, delighted, and enthralled.

Examples -
