How to PRACTICE making long sentences in English

many of you have seen the lesson I did

on how to make long sentences in English

but some of you still wonder how to

actually practice this technique on your

own at home well today I am going to

teach you how to actually practice

making long sentences in English first

go ahead and grab an English study

notebook and a pen alright are you ready

well then let’s jump right in the first

thing you want to do is to create a page

for your categories here is a list of 15

categories that you can write down in

your notebook

the categories are food sports hobbies

love life whether family friends work

school dating travel goals English and

the news now these categories all make

up the most common topics that people

talk about in English on a regular basis

so knowing good sentences for each

category will improve your ability to

communicate with others in English now

let’s move on to the next step after

writing down the categories you will

take one at a time and add more detailed

information for each again this is all

mentioned in the original video about

the five W’s for our first category we

selected food our simple sentence is I

like ice cream so we already know two of

the W’s first for who we have I then for

what we have like ice cream next we have

to decide the when where and the why for

when we selected in the winter for where

we selected at home

and for y we are selected it’s delicious

so our sentence becomes I like eating

ice cream in the winter at home because

it’s delicious okay now what you want to

do is to add a page in your notebook for

each of the remaining categories then

you will go through the same steps and

make a sentence for each category

alright the next step is to create a

large table for information on this page

you will be inserting pieces of

information first and then making

sentences from the randomly selected

information so on the top you will write

who when where what and why then you

will start with the first column that is

labeled who and you will write down

multiple people you can write a person’s

name a group of people or even your own

name just try to write as many as

possible then move on to the next

columns and do the exact same thing when

you are finished you will have a table

filled with the building blocks

necessary to make your long sentences

which leads us to the last and final

step make the sentences based on the

information in each row now it is time

for you to make a sentence using these

building blocks that are inside of the

individual rows each sentence will

include a piece of information for each

of the five W’s because you organized

them in advance for example in Row one

for who we have Michael for when we have

yesterday for where we have New York for

what we have went biking and for why we

have for exercise so our sentence

becomes Michael went biking yesterday in

New York for exercise

finally simply continue doing the same

thing for the remaining rows this is the

most effective way to practice making

long sentences in English when you

complete these four steps you will have

a notebook filled with long sentences

that you personally wrote about various

topics in English now start practicing

making your own long sentences and watch

your confidence in English improve

immediately you can do it you can speak

English
