Lesson details

Lesson outcome

I can vary my sentence types and lengths to improve the rhythm of a paragraph of creative writing inspired by Natasha Bowen’s ‘Skin of the Sea’.

Show transcript
A complex sentence is made up of a main clause and a subordinate clause. Complex sentences are divided by a comma when the subordinate clause begins the sentence. Writers use a range of sentence types and lengths in their work to create rhythm and pace. You should consider the rhythm of your own writing just as you would consider which word to use, or which technique.
