Complex sentences

Room 13 is learning to change our writing from simple sentences to complex sentences.

We are also setting new writing goals.

Here is our first sentence we worked on together. Andrea said she cannot wait to read all our complex sentences now in our writing books.

The cat ran round the mat. - Simple sentence


The cat ran round the mat and then the dog chased the cat. - Compound sentence


The cat ran round the mat as fast as a cheetah and then the dog chased the cat but he was as slow as a snail, so the super fast cat won. -Complex sentence


Keep watching for our complex sentences and see our writing grow !
