Combine Sentences
Sentence combining is the process of integrating two or more shorter sentences into one smoother, more complete sentence.
Combining sentences allows us to highlight the connections between ideas.
Different ways to combine sentences:
- Combining with keywords.
- Combined with a series of words/phrases.
- Combined with longer sentences.
Sentences can be combined by moving a keyword from one sentence to the other.
