Write that Essay Sentences

 The 'W' Sentence - makes the sentence sound thoughtful and knowledgeable.

Remember the rule: not every 'W' word works in a sentence starter, 

                                           Remember to put a comma in when the parts affected by your 'W' word are                                                   finished 

Examples: who,while,whereas,when,what,whilst,with
