Show how sentences can be built up by gradually adding adjectives, adverbs etc. Depending on the skill level of the learners phrases and clauses could be added.
Start with a simple sentence. Identify the subject, verb and object.
e.g. The learner wrote a sentence.
The young learner wrote a sentence.
The young learner wrote a long sentence.
The young learner carefully wrote a long sentence.
The young but thoughtful learner carefully and quickly wrote a long complex sentence.
The young but thoughtful learner carefully and quickly wrote a long complex sentence as the tutor explained what needed to be done.
For less able learners construct the sentences, print the different parts of speech in different colours- stick to those different colours as a visual cue- ask learners to build sentences and then swap some of the words that you have supplied for their own.
