- The ending of a story usually solves the problem and ends happily.
- Rehearsing a sentence out loud before writing it helps us to remember it
- Reading a sentence back after writing helps to check it makes sense
- Every sentence must start with a capital letter and end with a full stop (or other closing punctuation)
