1. SENTENCE EXPANSION “WHEN”

2. The When Group Now that you have the main trunk of your sentence, you have to begin to build on that trunk using different groups. You can expand the action by using TRIGGER WORDS, or you can expand the subject by using more patterns. You can also add more than one group to a sentence. We are going to work with one group at a time, and continue to build on our SPIVEY sentence. We will begin with expand the action groups.

3. The When Group REMEMBER: When you look at Spivey sentences, you must look at the Pattern of the sentence, the Example of how the sentence is written, and the Trigger words for that type of sentence. It’s like Math class and the order of operations. Our “order of operations” is PET.

4. When Group Trigger Words Before we begin to look at writing we need to look at our TREE and learn the “WHEN” words!
