Strengthening Sentences

Strengthening Sentences provides a general introduction to basic sentence structure. It looks at how sentence combinations can be used to achieve greater grammatical accuracy and flexibility in writing, and offers participants strategies to strengthen and clarify meaning at the sentence level.

“Now I understand different sentence structures, their relationships and
the rules of writing them. I feel I now have control when writing an
essay and finally have an idea what I'm doing. I wish I had done this
three years ago. I’d recommend it to everyone.”
