Why do we do this?
Varying sentence beginnings is what makes your writing flow. It’s boring to keep reading “the” or “a.” Today we will learn another way to begin a
sentence. This will help add some “flavor” to your writing.
-ed + who/what + action• Example:
Tired from school, EDthe girl WHO
fell asleep on the couch the moment her head hit the pillow.
ACTION
Noun-part + ed + who/what + action
Example:Exhausted from the race, -ED
the runner WHOcollapsed at the side line waiting
for assistance. ACTION
