Complete Sentences


Writing in complete sentences seems to be a struggle for many students.  Here are a few rules that the students could remember in order to help themselves in the future.

  1. Each sentence starts with a capital letter.

  2. Each sentence ends with a punctuation mark.

  3. Each sentence must express a complete thought.

 

Many times in the classroom setting, students are asked to write in complete sentences and restate the question in their answers. 

Example Question:
