Multiple Ways of Combining Sentences
Exercise # 1
Write your answers on separate paper.

The Original Sentences:

The drunken fans are more likely to spill their beer on fans and mess up their scorebooks. The concentration fan will stay calm and focused on the game, making little or no eye contact with the surrounding fans.


1. Combine the two sentences using a colon, semicolon, or dash. Briefly explain why you used the punctuation mark that you chose. [You may, if you wish, write only those parts of the sentence that would be changed.]


Use a subordinate conjunction to combine the two sentences to establish the indicated logical connection and focus.

2 [Focus on drunken fans; logical connection = time]
 

3 [Focus on concentration fans; logical connection = time]
 

4 [Focus on drunken fans; logical connection = contrast]
 

5 [Focus on concentration fans; logical connection = contrast]
