ACT Preparation / Unit 6 ACT 0510 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Something Old, Something New
Captions available
The idea
A sentence connects to the one before by picking up something already said, then adding something new.
In practice
"The town built a dam. The dam created a lake." Dam carries the reader from one sentence to the next.
Where people slip
A sentence that picks up nothing from before reads as a jump, whatever transition word it carries.
Your place on the trail
Every lesson rests on earlier ones and opens later ones. Tap any to jump.
