Learn English as a Second Language in Combinations

I promised to get back to sentence combining exercises and I always keep my promises. Here are some new sets of sentences to combine into one perfect sentence. Please use one of the following words to combine the sentences: and, but, or, for, yet. Please use each of these words at least once.

1. A good teacher is encouraging.
A good teacher is knowledgeable.

2. The tourists went to Paris.
The tourists did not go to Berlin.

3. John Smith is an author.
John Smith is a professor.

4. My professor likes to go to Tio Leo’s restaurant.
My professor likes Mexican food.

5. The actress is talented.
The actress is tempermental.

6. My schedule doesn’t include music.
My schedule doesn’t include art.

7. The little boy went to bed early.
The little boy was tired.

8. My neighbor doesn’t know how to drive.
My neighbor doesn’t know how to swim.

This is great practice. Please try.
