The 'w' sentence.

Try starting your sentence with a 'w' word. These sentences make your work sound thoughtful and knowledgeable.

Remember the rule: not every 'w' word marks as a sentence starter. Remember where to put a comma in when the parts of the sentence affected by your 'w' are finished.

Some 'w' words you can use: who, while, whilst, whereas, when, where, what, with, who, whom

Examples: Whilst the teacher was talking, the students were pretending to listen. With a majority of the votes, Hitler seized power. When the bell rings, we run to leave class.

My own examples: Whilst I walked home, I remembered I had homework. Why he did it, I don't know. When mum yelled, he hid from her. Whilst I worked, other students were talking. Whilst they waited for the bus, they talked about their classes. When the earthquake hit, the children screamed. While some kids ran, others walked. 

The 'ing' sentence

Try starting the sentence the -ing form of the verb. 

Remember the rule: when you have finished your -ing phase, place a comma, then write the rest of the sentence. 

Some words you can use: listening, watching, running, reciting, realising, emerging, grasping, speaking, analysing, signalling, exposing.

Examples: Realising the danger, people fled from the city. Shaking away the nerves, he approached the  microphone. Emerging from the water, the swimmer was greeted with cheers.

My own examples: Realising he had messed up, he made amens. Emerging from nowhere, the monster attacked. Grasping for air, he finally made it above the surface. Watching them calmly, he took notes.
