| Abstract

This clearly written, accessible guide outlines the principles of sentence combining - the technique for expanding sentence structure by creating compound and complex sentences from simple sentences. Sentence combining is the one aspect of grammar teaching that has been demonstrated through research to improve the quality of learners' writing. Along the way it will demystify syntax by explaining the basics of sentence structure and conjunctions, equipping practitioners with underpinning knowledge that empowers them to confidently deliver effective teaching of writing skills.
