Remember -
A simple - cliffhanger sentence helps the author to tie the last paragraph to the beginning paragraph. It also helps to build tension and make the reader want to read on. It also shows that they can use a single dash and an ellipsis which is more use of sophisticated language. It is composed of 2 simple sentences separated by a single dash and ending in an ellipsis. You can use the emotion sheets that have previously been stuck in yur book.
The man rubbed his stomach - he started to turn green...
A verb complex sentence has 2 clauses separated by a comma. 1 clause will be a main clause and the other clause will be a subordinating clause. The first part of the sentence will be the subordinate clause(it does not make sense on its own) whilst the second part is the main clause (it does make sense on its own).
Rubbing his stomach, (subordinate clause starting with a verb) the man licked his lips.(main clause)
Rubbing his stomach, the man licked his lips.
A complex sentence is a simple sentence w, the man licked his lips.ith an extra piece of information (relative clause) which relates to the noun or subject and before the main verb. We use commas to separate the clause.
The man started to explode! is a simple sentence. The man , who gritted his teeth, started to explode! Who gritted his teeth, is the relative clause.
A subordinating complex sentence has 2 clauses and starts with a subordinating conjunction.
As he rubbed his stomach, the man licked his lips. 'As' is a subordinating conjunction. 'he rubbed his stomach' is the subordinate clause. 'the man licked his lips' is the main clause.
