Introduction:

Teachers have great difficulties when introducing a topic on sentences to students. 
This is so because the moment they start talking about sentences learners are already 
put off. This is so because learners assume that it is a familiar area which does not 
require a whole teacher to stand before them. After all they always use sentences 
when talking or writing to their friends and nobody tells them how to do it. 
 
How do you construct your sentences so that your listeners do not get bored? To 
capture the reader&#39;s or listener&#39;s attention one needs to familiarise himself with types 
of sentences, how to use them. Once this is done he should consistently use them. 
For instance we have simple, compound, and complex sentences. When you always 
use long sentences you will not have readers to read your work, neither can you have 
the audience to listen to your speech. On another extreme, if you use short sentences 
all the time you will not sound natural, therefore people will get bored with your 
sentences and stop following. 
 
So it is important to learn the use of different sentence types. Now learning alone 
without active practice can not yield the needed result. Try it by mixing different 
sentence types in order for the learners to feel the difference, variety and flavour. 
Read the files, you will be a winner to your learners.
