Combining Sentences Notes for BS English students #combining #sentences #english

Combining sentences is a crucial skill for creating clear, engaging, and varied writing.

Why Combine Sentences?

Combining sentences helps to:

Avoid monotony: Short, choppy sentences can make writing feel disjointed.

Enhance readability: Longer, varied sentences improve the flow of writing.

Clarify relationships: Combining sentences can show how ideas are connected.

Methods of Combining Sentences

1.                   Using Coordinating Conjunctions

o   FANBOYS: For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So.

o   Example:

§  Simple: “The weather was perfect. The girls were playing soccer.”

§  Combined: “The weather was perfect, and the girls were playing soccer.”

2.                   Using Subordinating Conjunctions

o   These conjunctions (e.g., because, although, since, unless) link a dependent clause to an independent clause.

o   Example:

§  Simple: “She was tired. She finished her homework.”

§  Combined: “Although she was tired, she finished her homework.”

3.                   Using Relative Pronouns

o   Relative pronouns (who, whom, whose, which, that) can combine sentences by introducing relative clauses.

o   Example:

§  Simple: “The book is on the table. It is mine.”

§  Combined: “The book that is on the table is mine.”

4.                   Using Semicolons

o   Semicolons can link closely related independent clauses.

o   Example:

§  Simple: “I have a big test tomorrow. I can’t go out tonight.”

§  Combined: “I have a big test tomorrow; I can’t go out tonight.”

5.                   Using Participial Phrases

o   Participial phrases can add detail and combine sentences.

o   Example:

§  Simple: “The sun was setting. The sky turned orange.”

§  Combined: “The sun setting, the sky turned orange.”

Practice and Application

Start Simple: Begin by combining two short sentences using conjunctions.

Progress Gradually: Move on to more complex structures like relative clauses and participial phrases.

Revise and Edit: Always review your writing to ensure clarity and coherence.

Examples for Practice

1.                   Combine using a coordinating conjunction:

o   “She loves reading. She visits the library often.”

o   “She loves reading, so she visits the library often.”

2.                   Combine using a subordinating conjunction:

o   “He didn’t study. He failed the exam.”

o   “Because he didn’t study, he failed the exam.”

3.                   Combine using a relative pronoun:

o   “The man is my uncle. He is wearing a blue shirt.”

o   “The man who is wearing a blue shirt is my uncle.”

Tips for Effective Sentence Combining

Vary Sentence Length: Mix short and long sentences to keep the reader engaged.

Maintain Clarity: Ensure that combined sentences are clear and not overly complex.

Use Punctuation Correctly: Proper punctuation is essential for clarity and readability.
