*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 1People have survived both Christmas and the New Year celebrations.
Sentence 2Many people probably ate far too much food and are now trying to lose weight.
Sentence 3Good times with friends and families often involve eating too much food.

Since good times with friends and families often involve eating too much food, many people probably ate far too much over the Christmas and New Year celebrations, and are now trying to lose weight.

Good try, Sarah. But what happened to Sentence 1?

People have survived both Christmas and the New Year celebrations; however, many people probably ate far too much food and are now trying to lose weight -- good times with friends and families often involve eating too much food!
