Building Sentences
Some English sentences are very basic:
- Shakespeare was a writer.
- Einstein said something.
- The Inuit are a people.
You could write an entire text using only simple sentences; however, such texts are not interesting to read. For example:
- William Shakespeare was a writer. He wrote plays. It was the Elizabethan age. One play was Hamlet. It was a tragedy. Hamlet died. The court died too.
This module helps you learn to recognize different types of sentences and to use them effectively in your writing.
