Now, reread the sentences. Are there any adjectives or adverbs that you
can add in?
Are there any sentences that you can combine to form a compound
sentence?
1. Plural nouns – (many shoes not many shoe; remember the ‘s’!)
2. Punctuation and capitalisation – Capital letter at the beginning of
sentences; a full stop at the end.
3. Make sure you use the correct articles – check the article ‘a’. Do you put
‘a’ in the correct places? (e.g.: Writing “The woman is a shopping” is wrong!
Remember, ‘a’ and ‘an’ means ONE).
4. Do you use ‘is’ and ‘are’ correctly? (Remember: is – singular, are – plural).
5. ‘There’ or ‘They’? (Do not confuse these two words!)
5. Make sure every sentence you write is related to the picture. (Do not
write any sentence that is not related to the picture!)
6. Spelling – Check and double-check!
