We've talked about words. Now let's talk about sentences. In first grade, you probably wrote sentences like, "The cat ran up the stairs." Now your English teachers expect you to write far more complex sentences filled with description and layered in with phrases and clauses.
Today we're going to practice stretching simple sentences to make them more detailed, vivid and specific. Let's bring these sentences to life!
1. The woman cooked dinner.
2. He painted a landscape.
3. The garden was blooming with flowers.
4. The man went to the big city.
5. We traveled during summer vacation.
Ask yourself questions: Who? What? When? Where? Why? What do these details look like? Taste like? Smell like? Feel like? Sound like?
