Although we know she wanted to be the longest reigning queen,some thought she should of gave up her throne;others thought she had a great idea of staying on the throne until death
Hope you like this one sir 😄
Mr Chaffe wrote:
Great try Ashmaan but linking those two types of sentence doesn't quite work. You could have had:
Although we know Victoria wanted to be the longest reigning queen, some people at the time though she should have given up her throne. In contrast, others agreed with her and thought it was a great idea to stay on the throne until death.

Although Queen Victoria was small (1.5m), she was a big strong leader.
Ade 5F wrote:
Although Queen Victoria became Queen when she was only 18 years old, she didn't take it for granted and was very serious about it and in the end she was remembered of being the second longest reigning British monarch.

This week's challenge:
Can you use a modal verb or adverb in a sentence to show degrees of possibility?
I think you 'should' be able to do that but it is 'possible' that you 'might' find it tricky.
Rosie 5f wrote:
I thought you could jump,but likely you can't jump that high.
Mr Chaffe wrote:
Great try Rosie, well done. 'Could' works well but 'likely' doesn't quite fit there. What about:
'I thought you could jump but it's likely that you can't jump that high.'
Can you see the difference that just a few words make?
Ade 5F wrote:

Mr Chaffe wrote:
Can you use a fronted adverbial to add further description to a sentence? Any sentence is fine but if you are struggling for ideas, why not use this one:

Ade 5F wrote:

In the distance, there was a call of help from a man who was in the middle of the blue ocean.
