How many sentences is 50 words?

Answer 1

It depends on how many words are in a sentence.

This text is 50 words:

Common practice is that rest breaks are 10-15 minutes long and meal breaks at least 30 minutes long, but these times vary across industries and occupations. If an employee is unsure what general practice in their industry is, he or she can check with their industry association or union.

But you can see it is only two sentences

This text is 50 words:

With short sentences, the listener gets the whole thing in one go. Easy to remember. Easy to understand. More powerful communication.

There is a natural pause after a sentence. This gives the other person space in which to consider what is said. This also adds 'thoughtfulness' to what is being said.

You can see it is 7 sentences.

If you have short sentences you will have more, long sentences you will have less

Answer 2

The question is not "how" you would go about trying to write an understandable sentence that long and drawn out, but whether you would actually be justified in creating such an arcane monstrosity, the equivalent of one or more entire paragraphs, and whether, to a lesser extent, if the method you used was obvious and facile or more subtle, because there are several distinct ways to make very long sentences, and among the more egregious would be using long, pointless lists of words; or using tautological analyses in which recursive comparisons are repeatedly made in the same syntax for a long number of different values (or a long number of different actions, or a long set of opposing concepts); or lastly by using semicolons to artificially link together many disparate but related clauses and phrases, which in the vast majority of cases would be better presented as separate thoughts rather than strewn together in no particular order as some superficially erudite exercise in extended prose, the most likely effect of which would be to leave the befuddled reader wondering about the actual writing ability of its composer, and whether the material was being deliberately obtuse (so as to disguise a lack of proper research) or just an attempt to make the presentation appear in some way more grammatically polished (although in almost every case this would fail to impress the knowledgeable reader, who is evaluating the facts and conclusions rather than the mere appearance of the words on the page).

It's not a good idea. As stated above, most writers would choose the easiest course, which is to write "The first 240 adjectives and adverbs in the dictionary are..."

Answer 3

Well, honey, 50 words can be split into as many sentences as you darn well please. But if you want to stick to the basics, you can usually expect around 3-4 sentences to make up 50 words. Of course, you could always throw in a run-on sentence or two if you're feeling rebellious.

Answer 4

To determine the number of sentences in a given text, you must count the number of periods (full stops) at the end of each sentence. In the case of a 50-word text, you would need to identify the natural breaks in the content that signify the end of a sentence. Each complete thought typically corresponds to a sentence in English language writing conventions.
