Write that Essay/The W sentence & The 'ing' sentence

 The 'W' sentence

Makes the sentence sound thoughtful & knowledgeable.

Remember the rule: Not every 'W' word works as a sentence starter. Remember to put the comma in where the parts affected by your 'W' word are finished.

Examples: Who, While, Whereas, When, Where, What, Whilst, With.

Whilst the class was eating, I read my book.

Where you like chocolate, others prefer candy.

My examples: 

What Toni said was unforgivable.

Toni laughed, whilst the others cried

Toni questioned who ate her ham and cheese sandwich.

Toni sat with her friends.


The 'ing' sentence

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

Remember the rule: When you finish your -ing phrase, place a comma, then write the rest of the sentence.

Some -ing words: listening, watching, running, realising, emerging, grasping, speaking, analysing, signalling, exposing, gossiping, acknowledging.

Examples: 

Realising the danger, people fled from the cities.

Shaking away the nerves, he walked towards the microphone.

Acknowledging the speaker, he bowed his head in silence.

MY examples: 

Grasping for the rope, i finally manage to grab it.

Exposing her, ruined her reputation.

Emerging from the depths, there it was, the kracken.

Acknowledging that im at gunpoint, I surrender.

The Adverb sentence & The Prepostion sentence

Adverbs describe verbs, e.g Surprisingly, Firstly, Confusingly, Remarkably. Adverb sentence starters add interest or intrigue to our work.

Remember the ruleWhen you start a sentence with an adverb, place a comma after the adverb then write the rest of the sentence.

Examples: Accidentally, Shockingly, Concerningly, Excitedly, Significantly, Similarly, Unfortunately, Fortunately.

My own sentences:

Accidentally, Toni crashed her car into a truck. 

Concernally, she survived even after the car blew up. 

Thankfully, someone found her before she passed out.

Fortunately, Toni was taken to the hospital and her wounds were treated.

Similarly, the same thing happened to Toni's brother but he died.

Viciously, Toni attacked the drunk truck driver for not watching where he was driving.


The Preposition sentence:

Examples: In, Against, Between, Over, Behind, Within, Under, Below, At, For, Throughout, Near, About.

A preposition gives location or movement.

Remember the rule: When you start the sentence with a preposition, you need to put a comma when the movement or position ends.

Example sentences: In the beginning, we talked a lot.

Throughout the lesson, I tried not to fall asleep.

Near the basketball court, is the rubbish bin.

My own sentences:

Between when Toni's brother died and the present, Toni has never forgiven the truck driver.

In the end, Toni ended her grieving and got her life together.

Throughout everything that happened, Toni was happy but she still misses her brother.
