Show transcript
Writing is most successful when structure, content and vocabulary are planned. We are aiming to set a tense, pacy atmosphere in our climax and resolution. Short sentences, rhetorical questions and 'quick' fronted adverbials of time can add pace to a piece of writing. We can use a colon to introduce a question to show a character's inner thoughts. We can use a relative complex sentence as a cohesive device to add detail after a noun.
