key idea

When you write, you can sometimes combine two sentences together to make a longer sentence. Combining sentences can make your writing more interesting.

Two sentences can be combined if they share some of the same information. For example, look at these two sentences:

Carter sent roses to his mom for her birthday.

The roses were red.

Both sentences talk about roses Carter sent to his mom. So, you can combine these sentences together into one sentence.

Carter sent red roses to his mom for her birthday.
