How To Stretch The Sentence!

Here is an example of a sentence stretched out:
The dog barked.
The brown dog barked loudly.
The brown dog barked loudly down the street all night long, and I
didnt get any sleep!

When you stretch out a sentence, you provide more information and make the sentence more
interesting. You can include all kinds of information. Here are some questions to get you started:

What did it look like?

How did it sound?
How big/small?
What happened at the end?
Who was all there?
Why did it happen?

How did it make you feel?

What did it remind you of?
When did it happen?
What did it smell or taste like?
Where did it happen?
