Now that you are aware of your sentence style, this lesson will help you to better understand how you construct your sentences. While you may think there are lots of different types of sentences in English, there are actually only four basic types. Hm, what types do you use?

These two instructional videos illustrate the four basic sentence types

Sentence types: Part 1 (Video: 5 min)
Sentence types: Part 2 (Video: 4:17 min)

The following document illustrates twelve common errors in writing. Of these, items 1, 2, 4, and 10 relate to faulty sentence structure, so pay attention to them - for now - as they are more serious than the other items.
