When in Cursive
How to write the word when in cursive — watch it drawn, trace every stroke, and take the free worksheet to paper.
when takes 1 stroke to write in cursive — w-h-e-n in one continuous stroke. The animation below draws it on the writing lines exactly the way children practice it in Scribble; trace it after, then take the worksheet to paper.
How to write when in cursive
- 1Write w, h, e, n as one continuous stroke, joining each letter to the next without lifting the pencil.
Size is what makes when readable: tall h and midline-height w, e, and n. Uneven heights are the most common mistake, so check each letter against its lines.
How the letters in when connect
Follow the joins as you write when: w ends on a checkstroke that carries into the undercurve opening of h; h ends on an undercurve that carries into the undercurve opening of e; e ends on an undercurve that carries into the overcurve opening of n.
