The document provides tips for improving sentence structure in English, including adding details like time phrases, connectives, opinions, and modal verbs followed by infinitives and nouns. It lists time phrases, connectives, modal verbs, infinitives and nouns to choose from, as well as good and bad adjectives that can be used to add opinions.

1. Using the word ‘with’ to tell people who accompanied you on an activity is a basic detail that adds to your sentence. To really stretch yourself and to make your sentences near to GCSE standard, add a connective phrase at the end of the first clause or expression. Write a contrasting or follow-up phrase right after your connective phrase. This adds extra information to your sentence, and builds up your vocabulary. Adding an opinion at the end of your sentence leaves the person you are communicating with in no doubt what you think about the activity you are talking about. Starting your sentence with a time phrase is a great way of adding extra detail – it is also a reminder to use the correct tense. Time phrases like ‘ hier ’ always require the prefect tense, so be very careful. Your modal verb expression should come early in the sentence. Check to make sure you have the right spelling of ‘vouloir’, ‘ pouvoir’ or ‘devoir’ (does it end in –t or –x?) Modal verb expressions are always followed by an infinitive verb. This is a verb as you would find it in the dictionary. How many examples can you think of? You need to follow your infinitive with a noun or expression that makes sense, adds detail, and keeps to the context and meaning of what you want to say.
