*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 1:Where were you on Thanks Giving?
Sentence 2: I thought you were going to have dinner at your grandparents' house.
Sentence 3:I stopped by, but you were nowhere in sight, and you weren't answering your phone.

Where were you on Thanksgiving? I stopped by your grandparents, but you weren't there.
Good try, Sabrina. But I don't think you fully understood the exercise. The challenge here was to combine all three sentences into one.
Here is a possible solution:
I stopped by your grandparents' house on Thanks Giving as I thought you were going to have dinner there, but you were nowhere in sight, and you weren't answering your phone, so I'm wondering where you were.
