Key nouns — meet the words

A longer dictated sentence still keeps its capital and period.

The words

sound
what we hear
light
what we see by
space
an empty spot

Watch how it is built

1sound means about the same as what we hear.
The sound of thunder is loud.
2light means about the same as what we see by.
Plants need light to grow.
3space means about the same as an empty spot.
Leave a space between words.

Two ways to say it

✗ The what we hear of thunder is loud. — this is not wrong, but it is everyday talk.

✓ The sound of thunder is loud. — this is how a writer says it.

Ask yourself: “Have I got the capital and the period?”

Remember

Hear it whole, write it whole.
