Write that Essay

 The Adverb Sentence: 

Adverbs describe verbs. e.g Surprisingly, Confusingly, Firstly, Remarkably, Often 

Adverb sentence starters add interest or intrigue to our work. 

Remember the rule: when you start a sentence with an adverb, place a comma after the adverb then writhe                                    the rest of the sentence.

Examples - Accidentally, Shockingly, Concerningly, Excitedly, Significantly, Similarly, Simply, 

        Simply, I added the milk to the butter. 

        Shockingly, the lunch today was served hot. 

  Ex.

Simply, the students wrote down a few sentences about the Adverb.

Shockingly, many people decided to write down a lot of sentences.

Suddenly, it started to rain.

Unfortunately, it was very cold today.

Finally, we had free time after doing a lot of work.

Thankfully, my best friend is always there for me.


The Preposition Sentence:

Examples - In, Against, Between, Over, Behind, Within, Under, Below, At, For, Throughout, Near, About

A preposition gives location or movement.

Remember the rule: when you start the sentence with a preposition, you need to put a coma in the movement or positions ends. 

        In the beginning, we talked a lot. 

        Throughout the lesson, I tried not to fall asleep,

        Near the basketball court, is the rubbish bin. 


Ex.

There is some milk, in the fridge.

She was hiding, under the table. 

They were sitting, by the tree.
