Join Two Sentences

Joining ideas makes your writing flow the way you really talk.

The move

You can join two short sentences into one longer sentence using a joining word like and, but, or so. Example: "I was tired. I kept going." becomes "I was tired, but I kept going."

Write it

Write about something you did and what happened next. Then join two short sentences into one using and, but, or so.

Write at least 2 sentences.
