Lesson Instructions

You will go through two lessons (one in grammar and one in reading).

GRAMMAR

Simple and Compound Sentences

Introduction

Hi grammarians! Today, we will discuss the importance of adding simple and compound sentences to your writing! If we only had simple sentences, it would be pretty boring for us to write and for our readers to read! We should mix up sentence structures, so that we can make our writing more interesting!

My dog is named Ziggy. Ziggy is short for Zig-Zag. She loves to play fetch. She loves to nap. She is brown and black. She has a broken tail. That is why she is named Ziggy.
