SENTENCE COMBINATION, Feb. 15th, 2013



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! Try to combine the following three sentences.

1. Many people celebrated Pancake Day by cooking pancakes at home .
2. Other people went to restaurants some of which offered “all you can eat” pancakes that day.
3. Pancake Day is more properly known as Shrove Tuesday, the day before Lent, which is when Christians start the Lenten fast.
