Sentence stretching for increased vocabulary

 

 

When we speak, we have to think of words fast. One way to help ourselves is to add on words to the basic speech.

 

It is difficult to do it when we speak a different language, but it does get easier.

 

We can practice this on our own and I have written one sentence to show you how we can think about it in our minds.

 

Sometimes in English, we need to add words like "and" "so" "with" etc

 

So, to start

 

Say the first sentence

Say the second sentence

Say the third sentence

 

You will start to feel where words can be added to the simple sentence

 

 

 

 

I  went out

       to the cinema

             I enjoyed the film.

                      It was

                            a very interesting story

                                                                                                           

 

I went out

             (yesterday)

              To the cinema

                        I  (really)                                               

                           enjoyed the film

                                  It was (fantastic and)

                                       a very interesting story

 

I went out

      (yesterday evening)

       To the cinema (in the city centre)

                      It was (really fantastic and)

                           a very interesting story

       

 Bye for now
