📚 Topic Summary

Combining sentences is like mixing colors in art! Instead of short, choppy sentences, you can use words like 'and,' 'but,' 'so,' and 'because' to connect ideas and make your descriptions more interesting. This helps your reader imagine the scene more vividly!

🎨 Part A: Vocabulary

Match the word with its meaning. Write the correct letter next to each word.

Word Definition
1. Tranquil A. Very beautiful or impressive
2. Breathtaking B. Extremely large
3. Vast C. Peaceful and calm
4. Vibrant D. Full of energy and enthusiasm
5. Cozy E. Comfortable and warm

Answers: 1-C, 2-A, 3-B, 4-D, 5-E

✍️ Part B: Fill in the Blanks

Use the words in the box to complete the paragraph.

Words: sunlight, rustling, birds, old, quiet

The park was very __________. The leaves were _________ in the trees, and the __________ were singing sweetly. Warm __________ streamed through the branches of the __________ oak tree.

Imagine your favorite place. Write two short sentences describing it. Then, combine those sentences into one longer, more descriptive sentence.

Example:

Sentence 1: The beach has white sand.

Sentence 2: The waves are crashing loudly.

Combined Sentence: The beach has white sand, and the waves are crashing loudly.
