From a phrase to a thought
These phrases do not tell a complete thought by themselves. Add who or what, and any needed verb, to make a sentence. Start with a capital. End with a full stop.
1. Match and write.
Choose a sentence starter. Use each once.
1. on my way → ________________________________________
2. in the classroom → ____________________________________
3. a clean school shirt → __________________________________
4. ready to learn → _______________________________________
2. Notice the difference.
Write P for a phrase or S for a complete sentence.
5. _____ a bright classroom
6. _____ The classroom is bright.
7. _____ at the moment
8. _____ I am reading at the moment.
3. Your turn.
Use “after school” in a complete sentence. Say it, then write it.
