Use coordination and subordination to combine the groups of simple sentences below into one or (in most cases) two longer sentences. Omit repeated words. Since a variety of combinations is possible, you might want to jot several combinations on your paper. Then read them aloud to find the combination that sounds best. Keep in mind that, very often, the relationship between ideas in a sentence will be clearer when subordination rather than coordination is used.
