The intent of this document is to offer links to plain text or other printable files which aim to give students exercise in writing, whether just phrases, whole sentences, summaries or abstracts - even entire documents. In this initial release there is currenlty only one exercise! More to come!

Phrases

The exercises appearing in this section are aimed at a student writing phrases and clauses of variious kinds to get used to building multi-clause structured sentneces - bit by bit -

Sentences

The purpose of this section is two-fold - to demonstrate the correct use of sets of words and to provide exercises in constructing sentences containing more than one phrase or clause.

Understanding

The exercises here give a list of words. In the same kind of sense as the sentences with missing words in the homophone section of exercises - this time, however, it is up to the student to write sentences conveying the meaning of the words indicated. In some cases parentheses are used to indicate that a student should try to use the word in the number of different meanings indicated by the number in the parentheses.

Each exercise expects the student to write 25 sentences.
