Can I use Punctuation and Grammar?
Can I use different sentence types?
Simple sentences: contains a subject and a verb and can contain an object
• The nucleus (subject) is the controller (verb) of the cell
Compound sentences: joins two simple sentences using the connectives: for, and,
nor, but, or, yet, so.
Tissues are lots of similar cells working together and organs are different tissues working together to perform a function.
Complex sentences: A complex sentence contains a conjunction such as because,
since, after, although, or when .
A heart is classed as an organ, because it has different tissues working together to perform a function.
Basics for punctuation and grammar:
 Every sentence must start with a capital letter.
 Every sentence must finish with some form of punctuation: .?!
 Proper nouns need capital letters. These are unique people, places or things e.g. there are many cities so
‘city’ doesn’t take a capital letter. However there is only one London, therefore it takes a capital letter.
 Remember don’t mix up ‘was’ and ‘were.’ For example ‘I was (singular)’ and ‘We were (plural)’
