Conventions: Why does it matter if I spell it wrong or use it incorrectly?
Conventions refers to the grammar and spelling of writing. Having common conventions and expectations makes it easier for an outsider to read your writing! When you write, you don't want the reader to focus on your misspellings instead of your message. Conventions help writers communicate their message with clear, commonly accepted, and understandable language.
Writers want to be understood- conventions are the way to make sure that no one misinterprets the message!

What is a sentence? Complete or Incomplete?
A complete sentence consists of a subject, verb, and a complete idea. You can
also think of a simple sentence as an independent clause because it can stand alone.
Tool Box:
Use the Four Step Formula to check if it is a sentence!
1. ldentify the verb ( simple predicate).
2. Identify the do-er (simple subject).
3. Ask yourself, is it a complete thought? Is there essential
information missing?
4. Is it a sentence? Yes or No.
Examples of complete sentences:
He ran.
Stop!
It was raining.
She skipped down the trail.
