Classwork 1 Principles of Writing

Hey guys, this blog will be used to show you different topics related to composition writing, so we will start with the basics of this topic.

What is a sentence?

• t is a group of words.
• It contains a subject, a verb, and a complement.

• or exclamation.

• eg: I like chocolate cake.
• She watches a good movie.
• We are very good friends.

What is a Phrase?

• It is a small group of words.
• It is not a sentence because it does not express a complete idea.
•  It misses one or two of the elements of a sentence: Subject, verb, or complement.

• Hey you!!!+

What is a paragraph?

It is a short part of a text.

It has to be a minimum of one sentence.

It beginning on a new line. 

It usually deals with a single event, description, idea, etc.

 - Concluding Sentence: The concluding sentence is the last sentence in a paragraph. Its job is to summarize the main idea of the paragraph.
