Show transcript
The main paragraphs in an explanation text tell the reader how the process of digestion is carried out. Subject-specific, scientific vocabulary ensures the reader learns accurate information. Fronted adverbials of cause and viewpoint are an important part of explanation texts and support text flow. Using a variety of simple, compound and complex sentences helps to effectively communicate the process being explained. Adverbial complex sentences and relative complex sentences are a key part of explanation texts and support text flow.
