Sir,

Synthesis of sentences means to change two or


more sentences into one sentence. It can be a
simple, compound or a complex sentence.
Examples:

money.

money.
z

Ways to change multiple sentences into one:

1. Using conjunctions

2. Using participles phrases

3. Using infinitive phrases

4. Using an appositive or an appositive phrase

5. Using absolute phrases

6. Using modifying phrases (adverbs)


z
Using conjunctions

It can be a coordinating conjunction or subordinating


conjunction.

Examples:

1. Iwant to buy that car. I don't have money.

2. He stopped talking to people. His friend broke his trust.

3. Max was excellent in studies. He failed the final exams.


z

1. I want to buy that car, but I don't have money.


2. He stopped talking to people as his friend broke
his trust. Or

trust.
3. Max was excellent in studies, yet he failed in the
final exams.

A participle phrase begins with a present participle (verb +


ing) or past participle (third form of verb) including modifiers
and other linking words.

1. He finished the work. He went outside to play with his


friends.

2. The teacher got angry. He left the class.

1. Finishing the work, he went outside to play with his


friends.
2. Getting angry, the teacher left the class.

same. If not, don't follow this structure. Else, the participle
phrase will dangle

1. The teacher entered the class. Everyone got silent.
Entering the class, everyone got silent. ×
z
3. Using infinitive phrases
An infinitive phrase is made up of an infinitive (to + base form
of verb), modifiers or other related words associated to the
infinitive. It always functions like a noun, an adjective or an
adverb within a sentence.
Examples:
:1. He is working very hard. He needs money.
2. We wanted to talk to Jimi. We went to his place. Solved:
1. He is working very hard to earn money. 2. We went to his
place to talk to him.

2. We went to his place to talk to him.

4. Using an appositive

Appositive: a word or a phrase that gives a new


name or renames a noun that sets next to the
appositive.
Examples:
1. He is my friend. His name is max. He loves
playing football.
2. That is Jhon. He is a professional boxer.
z

Unified:
1. My friend Max loves playing football. Or
