I’m going to give you an incomplete sentence part….

Then I’m going to add more to it, to make it a complete sentence.

Here we go…

Because hungry piranhas thrashed
on the river’s surface…

Now I’ll complete it…

Because hungry piranhas thrashed on the river’s surface, Ahmed and Belinda paddled flat-out across the river and straight up on to the river bank.

Now it’s your turn…

Because hungry piranhas thrashed on the river’s surface…

Give the students (or kids) a go. Of course the funnier, more detailed the complete sentence is the better.

Here are some more to try….. Remember the incomplete sentence part can go at the beginning or at the end (or both) when making a complete sentence.

I would love to be able to share some of the sentences you write, with our readers….. so email your complete sentences back to me and I will publish some of them next week. If you include your children or student’s first names and ages, I will publish those too.

​​​​​​​If you would like access to great grammar and punctuation video tutorials with downloadable worksheets to help your children and students to improve go to www.thetenminutetutor.com.

​​​​​​​Have a great week.

P.S Here’s a complete sentence from an example above to get you started….
