Sentence Combining Practice

Read each question carefully. For writing tasks, combine the ideas into a clear sentence and check that your pronouns and connecting words make sense.

Spot the connecting words

Identify pronouns, conjunctions and transition words.

1.In the sentences “At low tide, Charlie found a tiny crab. It tucked itself beneath a rock,” write both pronouns.
2.Which words in this list are conjunctions: and, gently, although, beside, because, but?
3.Which transition word best shows that one event happened as a result of another?
  • Meanwhile
  • Therefore
  • For example
  • Next

Combine ideas about a rock pool

Use the facts in each question to create one fluent sentence. Several answers may be correct.

4.Combine these ideas using a pronoun to avoid repeating Layla’s name: Layla spotted a sea star. Layla watched the sea star move slowly.
5.Join the ideas with a coordinating conjunction that shows contrast: Matilda wanted to look under the ledge. The incoming wave made it unsafe.
6.Make one complex sentence using “because”: The rock pool was shallow. Charlie could see the shells on its floor.
7.Join these ideas using “although”: The rocks were slippery. The group walked carefully.
8.Combine at least three ideas into one or two connected sentences. Use a pronoun, a conjunction and a transition word: A small fish darted between the rocks. Charlie noticed the fish. A shadow passed over the pool. The fish hid in a crevice.
