Make two clear sentences out of these five, avoiding 'so' and 'then'.
The burglar climbed hastily out of the window. The burglar was terrified he'd be caught. The burglar didn't notice the water-butt. The burglar got stuck in the water-butt. The burglar was caught by a passing policeman.
The burglar climbed hastily out of the window; terrified he'd be caught. He didn't notice the water-butt and eventually got stuck in it. The burglar was caught by a passing policeman.
I have three sentences here, how do I shorten this out to make it into two sentences? Your help will be appreciated, thanks
The burglas climbed hastily out of the window, terrified that he'd be caught. He didn't notice the water-butt and eventually got stuck in it and he was caught by the passing policeman.
thank you
could change the second and to where.
okay, thanks stephanie :-)
your welcome!:)
To shorten the explanation into two sentences, you can combine the first and second sentences together. Then, separate the third sentence and move it to the end. Here is the revised version:
The terrified burglar climbed hastily out of the window, not noticing the water-butt in the process. Unfortunately, he got stuck in it and was ultimately caught by a passing policeman.
