*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 world is uncertain.
Sentence 2: In this world, we cannot cannot know what the future will bring.
Sentence 3: We must be prepared for any eventuality.

In this world, we cannot know what the future will bring because the world is uncertain, and we must be prepared for any eventuality.

The world is uncertain, so in this world, we cannot know what the future will bring, therefore we must be prepared for any eventuality.

Good try, both of you!

Logan, your sentence has a comma splice (before "therefore"), which should be avoided.

Also, keep in mind that you do not have to repeat unnecessary information. Here is another possible answer:

Because the world is uncertain, and we cannot know what the future will bring, we must be prepared for any eventuality.
