*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. Do not use a semi-colon.

Sentence 1: The children were clamouring to see Santa Clause at the mall.
Sentence 2: The mall was crowded with Christmas shoppers.
Sentence 3: The line to see Santa was very long.

Good try, everyone.

Here is another possibility:

The children were clamouring to see Santa Clause, but the mall was crowded with Christmas shoppers, and the line to see Santa was very long.
