I suck at writing and grammer can someone tell me what method you use to extend their sentences and make it more than a short sentence and ways I could build this up?

It largely depends on what subject you are writing about. Let's say you was writing about how a factory works, you would start off with the Title, a 3-4 lined introduction paragraph, keeping it short, sweet, and based largely on the facts.

Also for a paragraph, between 6-7 lines per paragraph usually works fine, however when you decide to talk about a different part of what you are writing about, lets say you write this at the end of the paragraph: 'factories are found throught the world, which offer Stores stock and products for consumers.' You would then move onto the next paragraph to start going into detail and depth about the Stores and how factories effect Stores, then after that another paragraph talking about the customers (consumers) etc.

If you are going to write something, use Microsoft Word as it gives a spell check by pressing F7, thereby you won't have any bad grammar.

It's usually best to split what you talk about into concentrated sections, similar to having a template, for example:

-Title-

-Introduction-

-paragraph 1 of what you are talking about (building slowly from the ground up)-

- paragraph 2 (go more in depth with what you have said from the first paragraph, expand on what you said, go more in depth with more detail)-

-paragraph 3-

etc

I hope this helps in some way, it's pretty basic as this is what I learned from my English class at school. :y:

I'll try to be frank here because I just recently broke my main hand. (The irony, I know)

While you didn't precisely specify what you are writing, the following way will thoroughly, yet basically give you an idea on how to structure your essay.

In the first paragraph, always include a thesis statement. The thesis statement should be indicative of not only your position on the posed question, but it should also state three inferences that readers can draw from the topic to be discussed in your essay. These inferences will individually serve as the foundations for the body paragraph.

So here is an outline with a random example I conjured.

Topic: Why were the British more at fault for the American Revolution?
Inferences:
-Their actions repudiated the principle of representation that colonists treasured. (I'll explain this in Paragraph 2)
-Colonists felt that the economic conditions imposed be Parliament stifled economic initiative (Paragraph 3)
-Colonists, of charter colonies especially, felt their sovereignty and self-governing rights were undermined by the British crown. (Paragraph 4)

Paragraph 2-4, as I mentioned earlier, should each explain one of the inferences you mentioned in your introduction. Once you finish developing and explaining one inference, tie it to your thesis again and then transition to the next paragraph which will explain the next inference. Repeat this until you finish covering all three inferences and paragraphs.

Your conclusion (Paragraph 5) should tie all of the body paragraphs together, while also restating the thesis in the introductory paragraph (in different words and structure, of course.

As for your actual writing style, try to be poetic, yet concise. Don't let style overcome substance. If you need help, I'm always here. I have 20+ years of English composition experience, and can help you structure and correct your essays.
