Join each group of sentences together to make single sentence, in as many ways as you can.
Combine each group of two or more sentences into a single sentence. Change any words you like so long as the basic ideas remain the same; try introducing speech, personal names or any descriptive details you like. Do not be satisfied with the first sentence you think of; think of several, and choose the best. Some sentences are from NL Clay’s textbooks, others are drawn from English literature.
