Multiple Ways of Combining Sentences
Exercise # 2
Write your answers on separate paper.


The Original Sentences:

Scrabble and I came across a cat. The cat was sitting at the top of the driveway.


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

1 [Focus on "Scrabble and I"; logical connection = time]
 

2 [Focus on the cat; logical connection = time]



3. Use a gerundive to reduce the two clauses to one.
