SENTENCE COMBINATION, Jan. 8th, 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.

1. Many people celebrated the new year and hoped for better things in 2010.
2. January is when we return to our jobs or school.
3. January is also the month when we have to pay those holiday bills.

January is a month when many people celebrate the New Year and hope for better things in 2010; we not only return to school or jobs in January but also have to pay those holiday bills.

UZMA: Very good apart from a missing comma;-)

UZMA: No, but I don't worry about one single comma in this question--unlike the grammar question;-)
