*SIMPLE SENTENCE
*COMPOUND SENTENCES
*COMPLEX SENTENCES- adverb clauses, adjective clauses, noun
clauses
Every sentence that you write should be one of these types.

on your sentences.
If you are doing the regular practice, I’m sure you are
seeing incremental improvements.

remember, recall, realize, recognize, worry, wonder, etc.

Noun clauses also go with verbs about speaking: say, yell,
whisper, shout, suggest, speak, advise, holler, murmur, stutter, call
out, cry out, mention, etc.
noun clause- think/talk = brain and mouth
We most often connect these verbs with these words: that,
