Writing Good Sentences (Part 2) - By Smrt English
Transcript
| 00:00 | Now let's talk about some easy rules for writing sentences | |
| 00:05 | . And these rules air easy . I'm sure you | |
| 00:08 | know these rules , but my students always forget to | |
| 00:12 | do these things . And it drives me crazy as | |
| 00:15 | a teacher . The beginning of a sentence . Well | |
| 00:19 | , the first word . The first letter in the | |
| 00:23 | first word of the sentence must be Ah , Capital | |
| 00:28 | letter . We never break this rule in English . | |
| 00:32 | An example . The new facilities are amazing . Capital | |
| 00:37 | T In the first word , the the end of | |
| 00:40 | the sentence sometimes has a period . We call this | |
| 00:45 | thing a period . So an example . She didn't | |
| 00:49 | like the view from the bedroom . You can see | |
| 00:52 | Capital s to start the sentence . And after bedroom | |
| 00:56 | , we have a period . Now , if it's | |
| 00:59 | a question we don't use a period , we use | |
| 01:01 | a question . Mark , Did you read the lease | |
| 01:06 | again ? Capital D to start the sentence and a | |
| 01:09 | question mark at the end of the sentence . And | |
| 01:12 | sometimes we use an exclamation point . We don't use | |
| 01:16 | a period . We don't use a question mark . | |
| 01:18 | We use an exclamation point and this shows emphasis . | |
| 01:23 | This shows a strong meaning example . I have never | |
| 01:28 | eaten better pass tha Well , we use an exclamation | |
| 01:33 | park mark . Excuse me on Lee one , not | |
| 01:36 | two or three . And this shows that it has | |
| 01:39 | a strong meaning . Now let's talk about spacing . | |
| 01:43 | We always need one or two spaces after a period | |
| 01:49 | , A question mark or an exclamation point . Okay | |
| 01:54 | , Now , if you want to use one space | |
| 01:56 | , remember that every sentence must only have one space | |
| 02:01 | . If you decide you like two spaces well again | |
| 02:05 | , it must be the same After every sentence to | |
| 02:09 | spaces to spaces due to spaces you can't in English | |
| 02:14 | . You can't do one space sentence to spaces . | |
| 02:18 | Sentence one space . You can't do that . So | |
| 02:22 | please choose your style . An example . I have | |
| 02:26 | never eaten Better passed a exclamation point . One space | |
| 02:31 | . It is delicious or I have never eating . | |
| 02:35 | Excuse me . I have never eaten better past exclamation | |
| 02:38 | point . Two spaces . It is delicious . So | |
| 02:42 | this is up to you When I write , I | |
| 02:44 | like to use to spaces , but maybe you'll use | |
| 02:46 | one space to practice this more click on the link | |
