    SO VITAL!!!!!!! This should be REQUIRED READING FOR EVERY WRITER OUT THERE AND NOT JUST FOR A QUICK PERUSAL!!!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you for something that is basic, but is the most fundamental and strongest tool in any writer's arsenal!

    Great tips. These would work well for elementary students too just learning grammar and structure.

    Is it alright to mix coordinating sentence with simple sentences and more complex sentences to influence a paragraph?
  • Buchamar Dec 14, 2011 @ 10:08 pm | delete
    LOL I am always struggling to improve my writing, still learning, but I keep raising the bar and pushing forward.

    I am so glad that I found this resource. I am an unschooling Mother, but I feel the same principles apply to that of a Homeschooling parent. These resources will be needed at some point in my daughters learning experience ( and mine too). Thank you.
  • Graceonline Jul 27, 2011 @ 2:40 pm | delete
    This is truly a wonderful resource, not only for homeschooling parents and caregivers, but for the rest of us, who sometimes forget to use the grammar and sentence structure that makes our language so rich AND understandable.

    Such great information! I love the poster with sentence patterns. It is so nice finding sites that really help the teacher understand the content in easy terms, so that we can help the kids learn. Lets be honest, most of us learned this stuff a long time ago. Refreshers are fantastic.

    This is where my child is failing in 4th grade and the reason we have decided to home school. Great lens, great info. Another one to bless for the work done here and all the helpful sources.

    Excellent lens! I may not be the Squid Angel for this area, but I like blessing really well-done lenses whenever I come across them, so ... blessed. :-)
  • IlanaMoore Feb 8, 2011 @ 1:45 am | delete
    Great way to break down a tough subject for kids and adults. Another important rule to remember is not to start a sentence with those helpful conjunctions (and, but) It's so easy to forget that one! Thanks!
  • Margo_Arrowsmith Nov 13, 2010 @ 6:07 am | delete
    Lots of adults could use this and it wouldn't hurt anyone, me especially Thanks
  • mom247 Nov 11, 2010 @ 3:18 am | delete
    I favorited this as I certainly need help with sentence construction and I plan to show it to my children too. Thank you very much.

    Despite writing a regular column in a magazine now for a couple of years, my sentence structure and punctuation are atrocious. Thank God my editor cleans it up but then I never really learn. So I've fav'd this to return as needed. :)
  • RebeccaE Oct 4, 2010 @ 5:49 pm | delete
    finally, for me at least, something to make sentences make sense, it is a challenge for me to write, but this will certainly help
  • sithgenard Sep 29, 2010 @ 5:35 am | delete
    Thumbs up for you! this article was great, and I learn much from it. Thank you.

    Hi, Jimmie : ))

    As a songwriter, this topic is of great importance to me, and it is always good to go over it. Thanks for sharing!

    Just last week an Angel in the forum used one of my lens paragraphs for a lesson like this. For all to read and see. I am still foaming, and almost at the mouth too! haha. My sad story. In the fifth grade my teacher read aloud a book report I wrote in a hurry the night before. It was due the next day. Thank all the Angel blessings, he did not reveal my name, but I will never forget the embarrassment, the racing heart and total weakness I felt in my whole body. The whole report was written in sentences that made perfect laughing material. This lens has become a my biggest Favor It!
    Looking back I have just realized one reason to home school. This is the first time I have revealed this story. A schooling wound that is still with me. Ha, and the teacher probably thought he was teaching me a lesson. In subsequent years, though, I did not learn "copywriter's" rules.
    Thanks for this Jimmie, so clear a retiree can understand it!

    Wonderful lens. Beautiful description of the sentence patterns. Thank you for the list of dependant clause notifiers; I have to ask, may I use them in my sentence structure lens? 5/5* and lensrolled to all my lenses
