Go over Test #7.

Sentence Combining Intro. SC homework is due on Thursday on a separate sheet.
Combine each group of short, choppy sentences into one smooth-sounding sentence.
You may add, subtract, or change words, but make sure to keep the meaning of all the parts.
You will have to punctuate as appropriate.
Example:  a) Chuckie bounces wildly in his desk.   b) He is the class clown.   c) He clucks like a chicken.
---> Chuckie, the class clown, bounces wildly in his desk and clucks like a chicken. <---  (appositive and compound verb!)
