Combined Sentence
• combined sentence is formed from the
combination of two or more simple
sentences
• the word used to combine simple
sentenses is called conjuctions.
Besides and the other words as
conjuction are: and then, but, for, or,
so, either...or; neither...nor; not
only...; but also..
Example
• Nitric acid is a strong acid
• It can oxidise carbon compound
• Nitric acid is a strong acid and can oxidise carbon
compound

If the combined sentences have the same subject, the

subject is usally not written down repeatedly.
eg.
• Acids react with metals
• Acids have the ability to change the color of indicators.
• Acids react with metals and have the ability to chnage
the color of indicators.
Conversely, if the subject is different, the two
sibjects have to be written down in its own
clause.

eg.
• at the beginning of reaction, the concentration of
product shows at greatest rate of increase
• at the beginning of reaction, the concentration of
reactants show the highest rate of decrease.
• at the beginning of reaction, the concentration of
product shows the greatest rate of increase and the
concentrations of reactants show the highest rate of
decrease.
