*SENTENCE COMBINATION*

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

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