About the Book

"Sentence Combining Workbook, International Edition" uses sentence-combining techniques to help you develop confidence in your writing at the sentence level and practice communicating your ideas in clear sentence structures. Each unit focuses on a specific sentence-level technique, followed by a set of sentence-combining exercises involving a narrative story or factual topic.
