Write that Essay Sentences ; #3

 Write that Essay Sentences ; #3

The 'ed' sentence 

Try starting your sentence with -ed form of the verb. H makes for a punchy start to a sentence.

Remember the rule ; When you have finished your -ed phase, place a comma, then write the rest of the sentence

Some -ed words ; surprised, excited, agreed, possessed, committed, electrified, undaunted, overpowered, concerned, horrified, delighted, enthrolled.

Examples ; Determined to win, Tony pushed himself in the last meters of the sprint.

Concerned for the well-being for others, the Prime Minister passed new laws.

Horrified by the gore, I turned away from the screen.

My own ; 

Overpowered by my phone as I was falling asleep as my mum told me off.

Overpowered with the ball in my hands, I throw the ball at the last person standing

Committed to my work, I finish first and get to have free time.

The 'power' sentence

If you waffle alot in your writing, try using a power sentence. Begin you paragraph with a power sentence of 12 words or less. Get straight to the point.

Examples ; Money is the root of all evil  (7)

What is right, isn't always popular.         (6)

My own ; 

Running makes your tired.

Alexis is smart.

Lily types very fast.

Lily has long legs
