*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: The snow lay heavily on the ground.
Sentence 2: People were shovelling the driveways and sidewalks.
Sentence 3: There was little traffic on the roads until the ploughs had cleared the major routes.

Yosua, Andrew and Jefferson: your answers are close, but the use of the semi-colon allows you to avoid the real challenge of the exercise.
