Participle : Using properly : combining two sentences : synthesis of sentences QN No. 13 9th and 10th class

 Steps to Combine Sentences Using a Participle

1. Identify the Two Simple Sentences

Start by identifying the two sentences you want to combine. For example:

• Sentence 1: "The cat meowed."
• Sentence 2: "It ran away."

2. Choose the Appropriate Participle

Determine the action in the first sentence that can be expressed as a participle. In this case, "meowed" can be transformed into the present participle "meowing."

3. Combine the Sentences

Use the participle to create a new sentence. Place the participle at the beginning or the end of the new sentence. Here are two options:

• Beginning: "Meowing, the cat ran away."
• End: "The cat ran away, meowing."

4. Ensure Clarity

Make sure the combined sentence clearly conveys the meaning of both original sentences. The participle should indicate the action and the subject should remain clear.

Example

Let’s combine the sentences:

• Original Sentences: "The dog barked. It chased the cat."
• Combined Sentence: "Barking, the dog chased the cat."
