The 'W' sentence
Makes the sentence sound thoughtful & knowledgeable.
Remember the rule: Not every 'W' word works as a sentence starter. Remember to put the comma in where the parts affected by your 'W' word are finished.
Examples: Who, While, Whereas, When, Where, What, Whilst, With.
Whilst the class was eating, I read my book.
Where you like chocolate, others prefer candy.
My examples:
What Toni said was unforgivable.
Toni laughed, whilst the others cried
Toni questioned who ate her ham and cheese sandwich.
Toni sat with her friends.
The 'ing' sentence
Use the - ing version of the verb. e.g to run - running.
Remember the rule: When you finish your -ing phrase, place a comma, then write the rest of the sentence.
Some -ing words: listening, watching, running, realising, emerging, grasping, speaking, analysing, signalling, exposing, gossiping, acknowledging.
Examples:
Realising the danger, people fled from the cities.
Shaking away the nerves, he walked towards the microphone.
Acknowledging the speaker, he bowed his head in silence.
MY examples:
Grasping for the rope, i finally manage to grab it.
Exposing her, ruined her reputation.
Emerging from the depths, there it was, the kracken.
Acknowledging that im at gunpoint, I surrender.
