SENTENCE COMBINATION

Learning to combine ideas into more complex sentences is an important skill in writing. There are many ways to do this. Try to combine the following three sentences.

Sentence 1: Where were you on Halloween?
Sentence 2: I thought you were going to the party at Sheila's house.
Sentence 3: When I got there, you were nowhere in sight, and you weren't answering your phone.

Where were you on Halloween; I thought you were going to the party at Sheila's house, but when I got there, you were nowhere in sight, and you weren't answering your phone.

Good effort, lldiko.

I wouldn't recommend connecting the initial question with a semicolon, though.

Here's another way of doing it:

I thought you were going to the party at Sheila's house on Halloween, but when I got there, you were nowhere in sight, and you weren't answering your phone, so where were you?
