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
