Literature of the Hart

In my experience as an English teacher and tutor, many students do not understand the basic grammatical structures of sentences. So they make mistakes- and mistakes affect their grades. But you can learn different sentence types to improve your writing. If you read the following, you’ll see five different sentence types in use: Really?  Students write sentences all the time.  Many rely on simple sentence forms and this can make their writing unambitious.  Complex sentences, which require more exact punctuation, are rarely used.  Multiple complex sentences, which are really quite advanced sentence structures, are usually unheard of, but this means that students, who are quite capable of writing them, might not be accessing the highest grades.   You can find out more about how I help students develop their writing in my ebooks: Quest for the Jabberwock - Five Sentence Types (for ages 7-16) The Five Sentence Type Workbook (for ages 16+) But I'm No Good ...

MANY STUDENTS are looking for ways to improve their writing for examination success. As a teacher of English for over 30 years, I discovered that students could learn how to use colons and semicolons quite quickly if they were presented in the right way. As learners get older, they naturally will write sentences that need these wonderful punctuation marks. Sadly, however, the majority of students have not usually been taught how to use them confidently. “Explain and expand” , and “connect or contrast” are some of the guidelines I offer, and you can read more in my ebook “ A Dash of Punctuation ” which is available to read and purchase on Amazon . Using colons is not something to fear : they can seriously improve your writing. Semicolons confuse some ; they liberate others! Do you see how easy it is to use these great punctuation marks?

In my experience as an English teacher and tutor, most students do not understand the basic grammatical structures of sentences.   This prevents them from achieving their full potential and leads to lots of unnecessary errors.
