THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN COMBINING SENTENCES:

• Meaning. (Is the original meaning clear? )
• Clarity. (Is the sentence clear on the first reading?
• Coherence (Do the parts fit together logically and smoothly?
• Conciseness. (Have you cut out the useless words?)
• Rhythm. (Does the sentence sound good when you read it aloud? It should!)
