Question

(TRIGGER WARNING) I have a question for my grammar people out there!! Please help! Can a sentence have two-words? I’m writing my memoir about a school shooting I was in the two worded sentence is “I froze.” It’s at the beginning of my intro paragraph. Please read it and tell me if it makes sense. The beginning is a flash forward by the way!!

Answer: Grammar police here :) it makes perfect sense and it belongs there so good job :)

Explanation: Famous writers like Angie Thomas and many more use sentences like this to explain the characters emotions and show it better. Using “I froze” like that in a sentence helps the reader better understand what’s going on by putting periods because periods symbolize a pause and that perfect for it, “...when the loudest noise I had ever heard traveled down the hallway *pause* I froze” see what I wrote there wouldn’t be correct but like I said a period symbolizes a pause in a sentence or the end of it so it would be “...when the loudest noise I had ever heard traveled down the hallway. I froze.” See how it makes a bunch of sense. I hope it does. Lol. Hope that helped :)
