SENTENCE COMBINATION, Feb. 1st, 2010

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: Many men look forward to Superbowl Sunday all year, and parties are planned for that date.
Sentence 2: Many women look forward to Superbowl Sunday because it is the end of the football season.
Sentence 3: Some people are such avid sports fans that they always have some sport or the other to follow.

Many people are avid sports fans thus many men and women look forward to the end of the football season on Superbowl Sunday; men, with planned parties and women because football season is over, even though there will always be some other sport to follow.

MARTHA: Yes, but you have changed the meaning a little--now you have it that both the men and the women are avid sports fans--if a woman were an avid sports fan, she probably wouldn't be looking forward to the end of football season;-)
PS: Do you prefer Marta or Martha--the e-mail notification I get of your post uses Martha.
