*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 spirit of Christmas seems to have been forgotten.
Sentence 2: People were literally fighting over the items on sale at the mall.
Sentence 3: Christmas lights are going up and trees are being decorated.

The spirit of Christmas seems to have been forgotten because people were literally fighting over the items on sale at the mall, when instead, Christmas lights should be going up and trees being decorated.

The spirit of Christmas seems to have been forgotten because people were literally fighting over the items on sale at the mall; therefore, Christmas lights are not going up and trees are not being decorated.

Christmas lights were going up and trees were being decorated, but the spirit of Christmas seemed to have been forgotten, as people were literally fighting over the items on sale at the mall.

Well done, Arzoo and Henry!

Good try, Rajwah, but the instructions advised not to use a semi-colon.
