Grammar

Helps make writing sound better and more interesting. When you expand a sentence, you add more details. When you combine sentences, you put two sentences together to make one sentence. Example: The boy rides the bike. BORING!

I can expand the sentence in two ways, I can tell more about the subject "boy": The little boy rides the bike. Or I can add details to the predicate "rides the bike": The boy rides the red bike. The new sentence is : The little boy rides the red bike.

My family works together.

What detail can you add to the subject "My family"?

What detail can you add to the predicate "works together"?
