Here's one of mine:

• John was happy that as a result of hard work for the first time ever he got an A on his report card.

What do you think? May I see one of yours?


Periodic sentences

• THE PERIODIC SENTENCE: In this sentence, additional details are placed before the basic statement.

• As a result of celebrating and drinking too much champagne, John was drunk.
