One of the qualities of a good writer is the ability to engage readers with interesting and fluent text. One technique writers use to achieve this goal is to vary sentence patterns. Instead of using the same pattern continuously, a writer will change the pattern by combining short sentences into one long one or moving a phrase to the beginning or end. The worksheets provided here aim to help young writers improve their ability to vary sentence structure.
