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 essay using only simple sentences like these:

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.

It is not likely, however, that your essay would receive a passing grade. This chapter helps you learn to recognise different types of sentences and to use them effectively in your own writing.

This topic includes:

  • Why Sentence Structure Matters
  • The Structure of a Sentence
  • The Order of a Sentence
  • The Purpose of a Sentence
