1. Santa Clause arrives at the mall on Saturday at 1000. 2. Before Santa Clause arrives at the mall on Saturday. 3.Santa Claus arrives at the mall on Saturday to participate in the food drive.
Good try, Sarah, but your second sentence is a fragment -- you need an independent clause to complete the idea -- and your second sentence adds an infinitive phrase rather than an independent clause.
