*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 man standing next to the theatre is Leonardo DiCaprio.
Sentence 2: He just won an Oscar for his recent film.
Sentence 3: The film is called The Revenent.

Good try, everyone!

But, Jaquelyn and Taylor, you have used a comma splice.
Logan, I'm not sure that the conjunction "and" really fits the logic of the sentence.

Here is a possible solution:

The man standing next to the theatre is Leonardo DiCaprio, who just won an Oscar for his recent film, The Revenent.
