Introduction to the How to Write a Sentence Course

Parts of speech are the building blocks of a sentence. In this lesson, students watch a video clip about parts of speech and review what they learned.

Parts of Speech

When English language learners have a basic understanding of sentence patterns and structures in English, they can recognize parts of speech and correct their mistakes more easily. In this lesson, students watch a video and practice recognizing basic sentence patterns.

Sentence Patterns

Every sentence in English involves one or more clauses. Do your students understand the difference between an independent clause and an dependent clause? This video lesson covers the basics and gives students practice identifying essential parts of a sentence.

Independent & Dependent Clauses

Test your students' understanding of parts of speech, sentence patterns, and independent and dependent clauses.

Mid-Course Assessment 

A simple sentence has just one independent clause. It’s one complete thought with nothing else attached to it. This is the first type of sentence your students need to know how to read and write. This lesson includes a video explanation and practice tasks.

Simple Sentences

Are your students ready to learn the next step of sentence formation? A compound sentence is made up of two independent clauses. Students watch a video and practice identifying and writing compound sentences.

Compound Sentences

The third type of sentence to teach learners is a complex sentence. This type of sentence joins an independent clause with a dependent clause. Teach your students this sentence type with a ready-made video. Then assign the practice tasks.

Complex Sentences

Conjunctions are handy connecting words that turn short, simple sentences into longer, more descriptive ones. Help your students become more familiar with these useful connecting words with a video and practice tasks.

Types of Conjunctions

Test your students' understanding of simple sentences, compound sentences, complex sentences, and conjunctions.

Final Assessment 

Students build their writing skills one sentence at a time. They review parts of speech, and then learn how to use independent clauses, dependent clauses, and conjunctions to write clear, complete sentences. Each video lesson includes writing practice. Two assessments help track progress.
