 is the opposite of transformation of sentences and means
combination of a number of simple sentences into one new sentence. That
new sentence might be either simple sentence or a compound sentence or a
complex sentence.

The following are the chief ways of combining two or more Simple Sentences into one
Simple Sentence.

‡ Jumping up, he ran away.

‡ Tired of play, he sat down to rest.

‡ He is well versed in English. He was appointed as the English teacher in the school.

Here you may find the Synthesis of Sentences into a simple sentence.

Several of these methods can be combined in the same sentence.

‡ The sun rose. The fog dispersed. The general determined to delay no longer. He gave
order to advance.

These four simple sentences may be combined to form a single simple sentence.

‡ At sunrise, the fog having dispersed, the general, determined to delay no l onger, gave
the order to advance.

 is the process of combining simple sentences, using
Coordinative Conjunctions, to form Compound Sentences.

Example :

The wind blew. The rain fell. The lightning flashed.

There are sentences. Now, we can combine all these three sentences to form a
Compound Sentence.

The wind blew, the rain fell and the lightning flashed.

This sentence is a Compound Sentence.

There are four types of Coordinative Conjunctions.Thses Conjunctions are widely used in
the process of Synthesis of Sentences.

They are:

1. Cumulative
2. Adversative
3. Alternative
4. Illative

 

The Conjunctions which add one statement to another are called  

Examples :

‡ Night came on. The room grew dark.


‡ Night came on and the room grew dark.

‡ He is a fool. He is a knave.
‡ He is a fool and he is a knave.
‡ He is not only a fool but also a knave.
‡ He is a fool as well as a knave.

It will be noticed that the conjunction µand¶ simply adds one statement to another.

The conjunctions µboth«and¶, µnot only«but also¶ and µas well as¶ are emphatic forms and
do the same work
The Conjunctions which add one statement to another are called  

You may see here how the Coordinative Conjunctions are used in Synthesis Of
Sentence.

 

The Conjunctions which express opposition or contrast between two statements are
called  

Examples :

‡ He is slow. He is sure.
‡ He is but he is sure.

‡ I was annoyed. I kept quite.


‡ I was annoyed, still I kept quite.

‡ He failed. He persevered.
‡ He failed, nevertheless he persevered.

‡ He will not oppose my design. I can not approve of it.


‡ He will not oppose my design; however, I can not approve of it.

‡ He was all right. He was fatigued.


‡ He was all right; only He was fatigued.

It will be noticed that the conjunctions but, still, yet, nevertheless and however express
an contrast between one sentence and the other.

Few of these conjunctions are more emphatic than the conjunction µbut¶.

Conjunctions which express opposition or contrast between two statements are


called  

You may see here how the Coordinative Conjunctions are used in Synthes is Of
Sentence.

 

The Conjunctions which express a choice between two alternatives are


called  

Examples :

‡ Make haste. You will be late.


‡ Make haste or you will be late.

‡ Come in. Go out.


‡ Come in or go out.
‡ Either come in or go out.

‡ Do be a borrower. Do be a lender.
‡ Be neither a borrower nor a lender.

It will be noticed that the conjunctions or, either«or and neither«nor express a choice
between two alternatives.

The Conjunctions which express a choice between two alternatives are


called

Sentence.

The Conjunctions which express an inference are called # 

Examples :

‡ He was obstinate. He was punished.


‡ He was obstinate; therefore he was punished.

‡ I can not see. It is very dark


‡ It is very dark so I can not see.
‡ I can not see for it is very dark.

‡ It is raining heavily. I will take an umbrella with me.


‡ It is raining heavily, so I will take an umbrella with me.

You may see here how the Coordinative Conjunctions are used in Synthesis Of
Sentence.

It will be noticed that the conjunctions therefore, for, so etc« join sentences in which
one statement is inferred from the other.

In this another section on Synthesis of Sentences, we are going to see how two or more
Simple Sentences can be combined to form a single Complex Sen tence.

c   

When two sentences are combined to form a Complex Sentence, one of the two
sentences can be converted into a Noun clause in the new sentence.

Example-1:

‡ You are drunk. That aggravates your offence.

In these two sentences, the reason (you are drunk) has been given in one sentence for
the action (That aggravates your offence) mentioned in another sentence.

Now the sentence which takes about the reason can be used as Noun-Clause in the New
Complex Sentence.

The Noun Clause is the Subordinate Clause of the new Complex Sentence.

The new Complex Sentence is:

‡ That you are drunk aggravates your offence.

Examples :

‡ He will be late. That is certain.


‡ That he will be late is certain.

‡ You are repentant. I will not forget it.


‡ I will not forget that you are repentant.

‡ He may be innocent. I do not know.


‡ I do not know whether he is innocent

‡ He is short-sighted. Otherwise he is fit for the post.


‡ Except he is short-sighted, he is fit for the post.

‡ The clouds would disperse. That was our hope. Our hope was cheering.
‡ Our hope that the clouds would disperse, was cheering.

‡ The game was lost. It was the consequences of his carelessness.


‡ Because of his carelessness, the game was lost.

In the section on Synthesis of Sentences, we have seen how a Noun-Clause can be used
as the Subordinate Clause in the Complex Sentence.

c %
  

In the following examples, the Subordinate Clause is an Adjective Clause.


Examples:

‡ A fox once met a lion. The fox had never seen a lion before.
‡ A fox who had never met a lion before met him.

‡ She keeps her ornaments in a safe. That is safety-locker.


‡ The place where she keeps her ornaments is safety-locker.

‡ A cottager and his wife had a hen. The hen laid an egg everyday. The egg was golden.
‡ The hen, which a cottager and his wife had, laid a golden egg everyday.

In the section on Synthesis of Sentences-3, we have seen how a Adjective-Clause can be


used as the Subordinate Clause in the Complex Sentence.

c  

In the following examples, the Subordinate Clause is an Adverb Clause.

Examples:

‡ Indira Gandhi died in 1984. Rajiv Gandhi thereafter became Prime Minister of India.
‡ When Indira Gandhi died in 1984, Rajiv Gandhi became Prime Minister of India.

‡ I waited for my friend. I waited till his arrival.


‡ I waited for my friend until he came.

‡ He fled somewhere. His pursuers could not follow him.


‡ He fled where his pursuers could not follow him.

‡ Let men sow anything. They will reap its fruits.


‡ As men sow, so will they reap.

‡ You are strong. I am equally strong.


‡ I am as strong as you are.

‡ He was not there. I spoke to his brother for that reason.


‡ I spoke to his brother for he was there.

‡ We wish to live. We eat for that reason.


‡ We eat so that we may live.

‡ He was quite tired. He could scarcely stand.


‡ He was so tired that he could scarcely stand.

‡ Do not eat too much. You will be ill.


‡ If you eat too much, you will be ill.

‡ He began late. He finished first.


‡ Although he began late, he finished first.
In the section on Synthesis of Sentences-3, we have seen how a Adverb-Clause can be
used as the Subordinate Clause in the Complex Sentence.

As in this section on Synthesis of Sentences-3, you too can form more sentences using
the same methods presented here. ?
