Mistakes to
avoid ......
Don’t forget capital letters to start the
sentence. Remember to
include conjunctions...
This isn’t easy, but with a little bit of thought you can improve your writing. Use a ‘?’ every time the sentence asks a question, and only use one ‘!’ for shouting, commands or surprise.
