*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: Both June and July were very wet this year.
Sentence 2: With so much moisture around, it’s not surprising that there are also a lot of mosquitoes.
Sentence 3: I am walking around in a fog of mosquito repellent these days.

Because June and July were very wet this year, it's not surprising that there are a lot of mosquitoes around all the moisture and, as a result of this, I am walking around in a fog of mosquito repellent these days.

With both June and July being so wet this year, and so much moisture around, it's not surprising that there are also a lot of mosquitoes which means, these days, I am walking around in a fog of mosquito repellent.
