Pursuing ‘kernal sentences’! (Base clause)

 Remember you are looking for the - the doer, the doing, and often, 

not always, the done to.

‘Experience’ (read) these examples; ‘feel’ them inside, note new ‘thoughts’ that occur. How could your words add details to these words?? ‘Play’ with the possibilies....expand a few sentences with your own content:

 First - Identify the DOER and the DOING in each sentence.

11.    We launched our boat. (extend how, where, when, why?)

22.    Mom bakes cookies.

33.    Somebody else was able.

44.    Abstract knowledge is unhelpful.  !!

55.    Jenny is painting the fence.

66.    People make mistakes.

77.    He braked his bus.

88.    My dog slurps water.

99.    Everything is expensive

110.                  This gear is not shifting.

111.                  The fire is burning outside.

112.                  Grandma knits sweaters.

113.                  The cherry trees are blossoming.

114.                  Our streetlight went out.

115.                  Bob collects coins.

Begin to realize the VAST content that can fill the ‘kernal’ sentence FORM.
