Different Types Of Sentences

In the past few weeks for hurumanu 3, we have been learning about different types of sentences. We have learned about 3 different types of sentences. The w-start, The adverb-start, and the very short sentence.

The w-start starts with a w word, eg. While, whilst, when, and where. Eg. Whilst Bob was sleeping, I crept out of the house. The very short sentence is used to create suspense and or drama. eg. From Moby dick by Herman Melville, Call me Ishmael. And the very short sentence has to be 5 words or less. The Adverb start is a sentence that starts with an Adverb. which is an adjective mixed in with a verb and it has to end with ly. eg. Annoyingly, he had to wait in the car for hours.

We had to write two sentences for each about our biltong experiments or our seedling experiments. These are my sentences. Feel free to comment below!


Adverb-Starts
1. Anxiously, we had to wait 2 weeks before we could try our biltong.
2. Disgustingly, he screwed up his face because the biltong was too salty.

W-Starts
1. Whilst he was gone, the bean went all furry and moldy.
2. When he was gone, the seed attempted to grow.

And finally, Very Short Sentences.
1. The seed grew.
2. The biltong was too salty.
