Summary
When should one sentence end and another begin? What kinds of transitions are needed to move logically from one sentence to another? What are the issues with faulty sentence parallelism and how can we avoid them? These are some of the topics we will explore in parts 1 and 2 of our webinar workshops. In Workshop 1, we will focus on issues related to sentence length, sentence splitting, and simple transitionary words and phrases. In Workshop 2 the focus will be on more complex transitions.
Participants must have a firm understanding of what makes a complete and grammatically correct English sentence in order to participate meaningfully in each workshop.
While it is not necessary to participate in both workshops, Workshop 2 builds on the material covered in Workshop 1. For this reason, it is recommended that participants choosing to enroll only in Workshop 2 have a strong foundation in English grammar in order to participate meaningfully.
