SENTENCE COMBINATION, Nov. 10th, 2009

Learning to combine ideas into more complex sentences is an important skill in writing. There are many ways to do this--many possible bonus points! Try to combine the following three sentences.

Sentence 1: The football team was fantastic.
Sentence 2: The team won the game easily despite problems with the refereeing.
Sentence 3: The crowd thought the referee was biased and booed him.

ABBY: You have the right idea here. Note that "fantastic" is an adjective, but you need an adverb, and there is no punctuation before a dependent clause;-)
