Do your sentences run longer than a page? Or do they hang in the air, waiting for a subject, an object or some punctuation to finish them off? This easy-to-use guide to sentence writing not only teaches you how to overcome run-ons and sentence fragments, but also all of the sentence construction obstacles encountered by anyone who needs to master (or re-master) the English language-all without making you do a single dreaded diagram! You'll learn a sentence-combining approach to writing that goes beyond helping you avoid errors by teaching you how to create sound sentences with variety and style.
Diagraming Sentences will help students of all ages learn how the parts of speech fit together to make clear and complete sentences. This 48-page book shows visual learners how to diagram sentences to help them understand why some sentences may not sound or look right. The book also includes fun practice activities, review activities, a glossary, and answer keys.
Draw Write Now Book 8 - Animals of the World, Part II
Beginning drawing and writing lessons for children ages five to ten. BOOK 8 focuses on dry land animals of the world - Savannas, grasslands, mountains, and deserts. The books are simple enough for a young child to do independently, but a teacher or parent may present the lessons. Each drawing lesson includes a colorful picture and step-by-step instructions, while the writing lesson includes four simple handwritten sentences. The teacher or parent may introduce letter formation or have the children copy the sentences for handwriting practice, or use the lessons as a springboard for creative writing or report writing.
They include exercises for your students. Some of the grammatical points covered are the following:
All vs All of ; Amount vs Number vs Quantit; Assure , Ensure, Insure, Secure; Between vs Amon; Causative verbs; Close (to) vs near (to)
Conditional sentences; Confusing words ; Either or / Neither nor; Even though / Even if / Even so; Lastly, Finally, Eventually, In the end , at last, etc..
Each topic is addressed in a problem-oriented manner, with specific mistakes demonstrated by sample sentences taken from actual papers (and appropriately altered to clearly illuminate the problem under consideration). The examples consisting of these original sentences and their corrected versions form the backbone of each chapter, with the accompanying discussion focused on their elucidation.
