Speaking in Complete Sentences
Aligned to SL.3.6 — Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts.
What this lesson teaches
When you need to explain or add detail, use a full sentence instead of one or two words. It makes your meaning clear.
Worked example
Instead of just saying 'The park,' you say, 'We are going to the park after lunch,' so everyone knows what you mean.
Practice questions
- Turn a one-word answer into a complete sentence.
- Add detail to a sentence so it is clearer.
- Explain why full sentences help listeners understand.

Hablar con Oraciones Completas
Cuando necesites explicar o agregar un detalle, usa una oración completa en lugar de una o dos palabras. Así tu mensaje queda claro.
