To make a sentence you need three things:1. A sentence is a group of words that makes sense on its own. 

Cheese, car, house, table on Tuesday. This isn’t a sentence – it doesn’t make sense. 

I parked my car next to my house. This is a sentence. You can understand what it means. It makes sense on its own. 

2. When you are writing you need to use the right sentence punctuation.  Using punctuation will show the person who is reading your writing where the sentences begin and end.•    A sentence must begin with a capital letter.•    A sentence must end with a full-stop (.), a question mark (?), or an exclamation mark (!). NOT A COMMA! 

3. A sentence also needs two kinds of words in it:•    A sentence must have a VERB (a doing word). e.g. like, is, cooking, walked, need.•    A sentence must also have a SUBJECT. This is the person, or the thing, that is doing the verb. e.g. I, Beppe, Tuesday, dog, you, table, the weather,. 

Here are some examples of sentences that show you the verbs and the subjects: Last week Peggy  redecorated the pub.Are  you hungry yet?Martin, be quiet.Tuesday  was very rainy and cold. 

Other things to know about sentences:  Sentences can be very short, or very long. There is no correct number of words that should be in a sentence. The length of the sentence depends on what you want to say and the effect you want to get. BEWARE! If your sentences go on for many lines, make sure that you haven’t really put several sentences together as one sentence. 

It’s important to remember that you don’t always need to write in sentences. For example, a shopping list doesn’t need sentences, but a job application does. 

TRUE/FALSE1)     I’ll have a Big Mac with fries, please. T2)     The baby was born on. F3)     No! T4)     Yesterday was a bright, sunny day in Croydon.5)     Friday night at seven. F6)     Last Tuesday my car was stolen. T7)     Once upon a time, long, long ago, there was a beautiful princess who lived in a remote castle. T8)     Turn that music down! T

                                                              24/5/2156Dear diary, I have been cryogenically frozen for the last 150 years because my life was going down the drain; I had lost my family and everyone I knew in a freak accident. The only choice was suicide but then I discovered a new project that the government were working on, the cryogenically freezing process. I was the first to try it out. There was some danger involved in the process but with nothing to live for I’d thought I’d try it out. I awoke in a scientific lab with robots everywhere, controlling everything. I was rushed out by a human and set on a cold stone table. I was strapped down and needles injected in me. They were running tests and stuff to see if I was ok, I had passed the cryogenic freeze. They asked me if I could talk, to my surprise I couldn’t get the words out of my mouth. They handed me a piece of paper and asked my to write my name. I couldn’t pick up the pen properly and when I did I could only write scribble, I felt like crying. They chucked some clothes on me and put me in a dark room and closed the door all I could see was a chair in the middle of the room with a beam of bright light shining down on it. A deep dark voice rang out through the room saying to sit down on the chair. As soon as I sat down on the chair and they bombarded me with questions that I could only answer with a node or a shake of the head, they told me that I would for the next five years being kept in the facility, the next 5 years would be living hell.

Gaze no more in the bitter glass.

When o got home I grabbed a cold icy-beer and sat down on the couch, and turned on the TV. Apparently the story was already on the TV, and the officer was saying that I was crazy and the culprit was a teletuby. All the press laughed. All of a sudden all the power went off in the house and only the moonlight shinning through the windows lit up the room. I heard a creak in the stairs and got up and went over to the stairs and grabbed a baseball bat and slowly moved towards the stairs. I reached the stairs only to hear running towards the kitchen and fumbling in the drawers. I peaked around the corner to see a dark figure searching for something. I went to turn on the light but remembered that there was no power, when I turned back the person was gone. I followed the figure to the dinning room only to find the thing hurling a chair at me.  I stood up and saw a black figure lunging at me. Grabbing the figures arms I threw him to the ground and chucked the knife out of his hand. He punched me in the face and picked up his knife, holding me still. Staring me in the eyes for what seemed like hours, but was really only seconds, slit my throat. As he stood up the moonlight shone on his face, to reveal the culprit. A teletuby, my last thoughts were if only they believed me. 

I sat there thinking of things, on the edge of the cliff.It looked as no-one had been here for a while, As I stared out at the ocean I saw dolphins jumping,Water splashing against the rocks, one of them came up to me.It spoke a quiet little dolphin voice that they make,It seemed to be talking to me; I told it why I was here,My story it seemed to be listening, when I was finished it swam.It swam as fast as it could away in the distance. It felt for me. 

I thought of when I was 8 years old and I broke my knee,Mum was there to comfort me and dad sat inside drinking.Drinking his life away, it made me so angry all of a sudden.Anger that I’ve never felt before, I lost it.Screaming at the top of my voice why dad, why.I picked up a rock and threw it at the car, dad’s new car.I didn’t care, I told him I would bring it back, and I was lying.Dad didn’t care where I was going as long as his car was alright. I picked up another rock and threw it at the windshield.It broke, spraying glass everywhere, I didn’t care.I stood up and asked myself again, why dad, why.I wish mum was here, but due to dad’s careless driving,And drinking she was in a better place, I hope.Away from the abuse and yelling.As I plunged down to the deep in the cold night air, I would soon join mum.Hopefully dad would stop drinking, because where both gone.Hopefully he would learn.      

Darling, I
Can’t get enough of your love, babe
