Answer in Complete Sentences Jan 12th

Question 1

Why answer questions using full

sentences?

Answer 1

Full sentences are an important part of
any piece of writing, in lots of subjects.
Learning how to use them is a useful
skill to make your writing easier to read
(and easier to write) Answering questions in complete sentences is also called restating the question. Restating means to answer a question fully using the same or similar words in your answer.
