Pancake sentence

A pancake sentence means a sentence that is really flat, just like a pancake. It doesn't have any excitement or variation, it's just the same thing repeated over and over again. Imagine having pancakes for breakfast every day, it would get boring after a while right? That's how a pancake sentence feels too. It's important to use different words and structures in your sentences so they don't get pancakey and boring.
