Improve Writing Quickly by Learning These Five Sentence Types
Students can improve their writing very quickly once they understand the grammar that lies behind sentence construction.
Unfortunately, many have missed out on this essential teaching.
My Five Sentence Types Workbook is part of The Hartland English Guides - the most popular page on this blog - and it distills 30 years of English teaching in a simple step-by-step way to introduce students to the grammatical rules behind compound sentences, complex sentences, and the other three main types I discuss.
I use this ebook regularly in my teaching, and the effect it has on students' writing still amazes me! It frees them to use their natural creativity not only correctly but also more imaginatively as they gain confidence in using a wider variety of sentence structures.
This is the story on which the ebook is based - and in it you can see all five sentence types used...
“Hello!”
I was on my way home, which still lay twenty minutes’ walk away, in the early evening, when I noticed a figure, who was standing on the other side of the road.
I didn’t know what to do.
I could pretend not to have heard or
I could answer.
I had a strange sense that this
decision, which I was about to make, would have significant consequences.
