Question
Basic Answer
C. Joining Sentences Using Infinitives:
Step 1: Identify the main verb and the purpose of the second sentence.
This step involves determining which action is the primary one and which action serves as a purpose or reason for the first.
Step 2: Rephrase the second sentence as an infinitive phrase.
This involves changing the main verb of the second sentence into its infinitive form (“to” + base verb) and making any necessary grammatical adjustments.
Step 3: Combine the sentences using the infinitive phrase.
This involves integrating the infinitive phrase into the first sentence to create a single, grammatically correct sentence.
Here are the combined sentences:
- I stayed at home to rest.
- He has a plan to execute.
- He speaks the truth, not being afraid to do so. (Slight rewording for better flow)
- I was happy to hear of your new job.
- Every company has a manager to take care of the business.
- All teams have coaches to guide them.
- He went to Mumbai to get a job.
- He must study to achieve success.
- He collects precious stones; it is his hobby. (This one doesn’t easily take an infinitive, the structure is already concise)
- Our teacher is too kind to scold anyone.
