I learned that every complete sentence has a subject and a predicate. Knowing this will help me to write sentences that make sense.

2) All sentences begin with a capital letter and end with a punctuation mark. This is important, because it shows where one sentence starts and another sentence begins.

3) When combining two complete sentences together, we can use words such as “and or but” to make compound sentences. This makes our writing flow.

1. I learned that every sentence has to begin with a capital letter.This helped me to understand where one sentece starts and another begins.
2. Every sentence has to end with proper punctuation. This helped to understand if the sentence is asking a question or making a statement.
3. A sentence should have a subject and a verb. I learned that this will help me to write complete sentences.
