SENTENCES COMBINED.
A number of simple sentences may sometimes be combined so as to form one.
Example:—The girl was little. She lost her doll. The doll was pretty. It was new. She lost it yesterday. She lost it in the afternoon.
These sentences may be combined in one, thus:—The little girl lost her pretty new doll yesterday afternoon.
The combined sentence tells us as much as the separate sentences, and tells it in a shorter, clearer, and more pleasing way.
