Remember, for a sentence to be complete, it must contain a subject and a verb.

As you can see on your screen.

Option two, is correct because it contains both subject and a verb.

Well done, if you got that right.

Option three sofa or option four river.

In the count of three, point to your screen or shout out loud.

One, two, three Liverpool.

Well done, if you got that answer correct.

Liverpool is the name of a specific place and requires a capital letter.

Capital letters, use a capital letter if the word is the name of a specific person or place.

Words like Spain or Wednesday or Mohammed Sarah, Fused sentences, I have a new rule for you.

You must start a new sentence when the next subject appears.

If you do not, this is a mistake called a fused sentence.

Complete sentence, in order to be correct, a sentence must have a blank and a blank.

Three, two, one, subject and a verb.

Well done from remembering.

Fused sentences, starting a new sentence.

In this table, I have some fused sentences.

I'm going to read them aloud and hopefully you'll here where the mistake is.

I went to Egypt, he went to Turkey.

Tom loves carrots, I love peas.

Can you remember the rule? Start a new sentence, when the next subject appears.

Here are the correct sentences.

I went to Egypt full stop.

He capital H, went to Turkey.

Tom loves carrots, full stop.

I capital letter, love peas.

I've started a new sentence, when the next subject appears.

Which of these is not a fused sentence? Pause your video and read the options to yourself.

Or listen to me read them aloud.

I went to the park it was cold.

I bought a new hat yesterday, it is orange.

I took the bus it was not crowded.

Which of these is not a fused sentence? One, two, three, fantastic, I bought a new hat yesterday, full stop.

It, new subject, the hat is orange.

Well done, if you've got that answer correct.

Your turn now, can you correct these fused sentences? Let's work through a couple of examples first.

I went to the beach, I brought my hat.

Remember, start a new sentence when the next subject appears.

I went to the beach.

I brought my hat.

I went to the shops, Sandra went home.

They walked to school, we took the bus Sentence number one, I went to the beach, subject there, I.

I brought my hat, next subject, I again.

Therefore, we need to start a new sentence.

So we must put a full stop after beach.

Let's look at sentence number two and number three, I went to the shops.

Sandra went home.

Sandra is the next subject, so we must put a full stop, after the word shops.

Number three, they, is a subject, walked to school, we, the next subject took the bus.

So we place a full stop, after the word school.

Okay your turn now.

Pause your video and correct these fused sentences.

Resume your video when you are ready.

How did you get on? Do your sentences look like this? Well done, if they do, superb work.

Capital letters, use a capital letter, if a word is the name of a specific person or place.

Which of these words must have a capital letter? Elizabeth, frog or toad? In the count of three point to your screen or shout out loud.

One, two, three, Elizabeth.

Well done if you've got the answer correct.

Elizabeth names a specific person.

Proofread, as well as writing accurately, you must be able to read accurately.

This paragraph has lots of capital letter errors.

Can you read it through and spot them? Pause your video.

Have a look for the capital letter errors.

Try to fix them.

Resume your video, when you are ready.

Find them all? Let's have a look.

Evie and Lizzie went to visit the farm.

They were so excited to go and see the animals on the farm.

Evie told Lizzie that she wanted to see a duck.

Evie loved ducks.

Evie saw the ducks, she was very happy.

Remember, we must use a capital letter when we name a specific person or place This first sentence is correct now.

Evie and Lizzie went to visit the farm.

Lizzie requires a capital L.

Went and farm do not require capital letters.

How did you get on with correcting this paragraph? Well done.

Now, time for some amazing writing.

Remember, in these lessons, you're writing stories based on some pictures.

Today, I'm hopeful, that you'll be able to write a paragraph.

Little bit longer than before, but you can still be successful by aiming for your writing checks.

Let's have a look at today's writing checks.

Check number one, I have written what happened throughout.

Your writing is in the past tense.

Check number two, I've put capital letters on specific names and places.

Check number three, all of my sentences have a subject and a verb.

You've written complete sentences.

Remember, you need to make sure that your stories are realistic and believable and you can achieve this by telling what you know happened.

Let's have a look at the first image for today.

Pause your video, 30 seconds Will do.

Have a look at who, subject and what, verb.

So in this picture, we have Miriam and Sarah.

And we could use a verb, ran.

Next image in the sequence.

Pause your video again and have a good look at this image.

Think about who and what.

Again, we have Miriam and Sarah.

But we can see, Sarah stopped, tied her shoelace.

Think about these verbs when you are completing your writing task.

The final part, for today's story.

Pause your video again.

Have a look at this image.

Again, our subjects, Miriam and Sarah.

What has happened? Which verbs could you use? A car zoomed through a puddle.

The puddle splashed, Sarah.

Perhaps words that you would like to consider, when writing your paragraph.

Here's the whole sequence together.

Pause your video and think about who, subject and what, verbs, you are going to use in your writing.

Resume your video when you're ready.

Ready? Fantastic.

I would like you to start your paragraph with this sentence, Sarah and Miriam signed up for a marathon.

Marathon being a really long running race.

Something that you'd probably have to do lots of training for.
