Etc
Directions:
Welcome to the wonderful world of sentence combining.
Look at the sets of sentences.
For each set, devise a way to combine the three or four sentences into one sentence.
Notice the example above.
Or, to put it another way:
As I did above, glance over the individual sentences in each set and devise a way to combine them.
Other Stuff:
Silliness is allowed, but your new sentence should make sense.
You may type your answer in the blocks below each sentence group--or use your own paper.
One more thing: There are 60 of these sets. That's a lot! Do as many as you can today without buring out, and then return. . .
After writing your sentences you may print the pages, or copy them into your word processor.
