Sentence Pattern Worksheets
Related ELA Standard: L.6.3.A
We all have habits or patterns that we develop over time. When writing, we are no stranger to patterns either. Typical sentences have three main players: the subject, the verb, and the clause connectors. The subject tells us the who. The verb tells us the action the subject is taking or the state of being of that subject. The clause connector is a product of how those two interact. These worksheets will take students deep with the patterns that develop between the authors and their sentences.
