    I run a pr3 website and am attempting to get the hang of keywords and meta tags....when adding my meta description does it matter if it is in sentence form or just keywords?

    the optimal use of meta tag <description> consists in summary and clear description of the page. try to make interesting and informative description because users will see it as snippet on the page of search engine

    ModernRockMagazine,Yes according to Google Meta Description is very important and you should write meta description keeping in mind the CTR of your website. A well written meta description motivates users to click the link of your website in search engine result pages. Also don't stuff your meta description with keyword phrases as it will make your meta description look spammy to search engines.

    you can do mixing your keywords with some other words, so it would come up like short description tells what it's site of yours.

    yes, meta description is for you to describe about your website and not keywords. It not meta keywords. you may integrate keywords with some wording do describe your website but not recommend to use much keywords. Because reader is looking for content and not keywords. Keywords just show more in your Title rather than description.
