The Four Kinds of Sentences

Did you know that there are only four basic kinds of sentences?

One of the things Marie understood so well was how to take subjects as seemingly complicated as grammar and punctuation and break them down into simple, cozy, and easy-to-follow lessons.

Take, for instance, Lesson 1 of the Basic Cozy Grammar Course. There she uses clear and concrete examples from life in her cozy beach cottage to illustrate the four kinds of sentences: assertive, interrogative, imperative, and exclamatory.

Do those four terms sound intimidating? They won't after you watch Marie's lesson. Take a peek!

I love how Marie uses examples from daily life to illustrate something that could otherwise appear complicated.

She does the same thing in her Basic Cozy Punctuation Course. There she tootles around Campbell River, B.C. in her trusty Camino to show how punctuation marks are like language traffic signs.

She even gives handy punctuation poems to help students remember what the different punctuation marks do.

In fact, rather than sharing a video from me this month, I wanted to share a second video from Marie instead, so you can see how well her Basic Cozy Grammar Course and her Basic Cozy Punctuation Course go together.

In this excerpt from Lesson 1 of the Basic Cozy Punctuation Course, she gives a wonderfully easy-to-follow explanation of how to use exclamation marks at the end of exclamatory sentences.

Take a peek, and I'll tell you how you can win a free lifetime subscription to both these beloved basic courses this month.

Thanks so much for joining us this month, and we'll see you again soon!
