Making Sentences Shine with Good Grammar

Grammar is the set of rules for how words fit together to make sentences. In 4th grade, you’ll learn about parts of speech (like nouns, verbs, and adjectives) and how to write complete sentences.

Tips for Great Sentences

  • Use capital letters at the beginning and punctuation at the end.
  • Combine short sentences to make writing more interesting.
  • Fix run-on sentences by adding periods or conjunctions.

Good grammar helps your ideas come across clearly and makes your writing easier to read!

Examples

  • Changing 'the cat run fast' to 'The cat runs fast.'

  • Using adjectives to describe a place, like 'The spooky, old house.'

In a Nutshell

Grammar helps you write sentences that make sense.
