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.
He is well versed in English. He was appointed as the English teacher in the school.
For his knowledge of English, he was appointed as English teacher in the school

is the process of combining simple sentences, using
Coordinative Conjunctions, to form Compound Sentences.
Example :
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.
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 :
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.
He failed. He persevered.
He failed, nevertheless he persevered.
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¶.
You may see here how the Coordinative Conjunctions are used in Synthes is Of
Sentence.
Examples :
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.

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

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