Writing Activity:
A sentence is a number of words which give us a full and complete idea. A sentence can be short, eg. The girl is reading. or long, eg. The beautiful girl with the long black hair is reading a book about insects which she borrowed from the library yesterday during her lunch break. But the important thing to remember is that a sentence must be a complete and full idea. 'Is reading' is not a proper sentence because it doesn't tell us who is reading. 'The beautiful girl with the long black hair is' is not a full sentence because it doesn't say what she is doing.A. Now look at numbers 1 to 15 below and decide whether they are full sentences or not. Write "yes" at the end if you think they are, and "no" if you think they aren't. When your answers have been checked, write some extra words to make your "no" answers into full sentences. You can write these extra words at the beginning or end. Make sure you punctuate correctly.
Example: The monkey was eating a banana. YES
My brother likes. NO
Correction: My brother likes going swimming.
