Learning to combine ideas into more complex sentences is an
important skill in writing. There are many ways to do this--many possible bonus
points! Combine the following three sentences.
Sentence 1: The snowfall lay heavily on the ground.
Sentence 2: People were shovelling driveways and
sidewalks and piling up snow into snow mountains.
Sentence 3: There was little traffic on the roads
until the snow ploughs had cleared the major routes.

Since the snowfall lay heavily on the ground, there was little traffic on the roads because the snow ploughs had cleared the major routes, and the people were shovelling driveways, sidewalks and piling up snow into snow mountains.
With the snowfall laying heavily on the ground, there was little traffic on the roads because the snow ploughs weren't done clearing the major routes, people were shovelling driveways, sidewalks, and piling up snow into snow mountains.
YADIRINI:Grammatically this is okay, but it's not making good sentence--if the snow ploughs had cleared roads, then there should be traffic;-)
PATRICK: Almost--you have a word confusion error;-)
