Poor us...we writers only have 4 basic sentence patterns to work - TopicsExpress



          

Poor us...we writers only have 4 basic sentence patterns to work with but so did SHAKESPEARE only have the 4... It is what you do with the 4 that is important - how one executes them and they ARE: The simple sentence as in JESUS wept for all mankind. The compound sentence as in Jesus wept for all mankind, and he prayed for us all as well. The complex sentence req. adding a fragment as in -- Jesus, at the tender age of 13, wept for all mankind. The compound complex: At the age of 13, Jesus wept for all, and he also prayed for all. THE real trick is to mix it up....all sentences of a single pattern put people straight to sleep, no matter the subject or issue.
