Things to Know About Sentence Combining

To Combine Sentences:

- Rearrange words,
- Add and drop words,
- Add endings to words, and
- Do include all the ideas of the original sentences.


Sentence Length:

Writing is made up of long and short sentences. Often, an important idea can stand alone in a short sentence to get more attention.


Ways to Combine:

Related ideas can be combined with connectors that show their relationship. For example:


Sequence or Time:

and, when, then, after, before, while, whenever, during, ing verbs, until, if


Cause and Effect

since, because, so that, if/then


Comparison:

although, even though, though, however, while, as much as, on the other hand, but, either/or, neither/nor

Some of the connecting words above are those we called because words:

when, after, before, while, whenever, during, since, because, if, although, even though, though

These words behave the same way when they connect two related sentences.

They can appear in two different places in a combined sentence. For example:

If you dawdle over breakfast, you'll be late for school.
(Please notice the comma!)

Or:

You'll be late for school if you dawdle over breakfast.
(Please notice that there is no comma!)


Describing Words:

1. who, whom, which, that, whose

That words example:

I love pizza that is gooey and messy!

Who is used to replace people words. For example:

We looked for the man.
That man had our umbrella.

Combined might become:

We looked for the man who had our umbrella.

Which is used to replace only non-people words. For example:

Pepperoni pizza is my favorite.
It has the spiciest flavor of all.

Combined might become:

Pepperoni pizza, which is my favorite, has the spiciest flavor of all.

2. Inserting a describing word from one sentence into another. For example:

I love that pizza.
That pizza is gooey.
That pizza is messy.

Combined becomes:

I love that gooey, messy pizza!
