Combine the following sentenes to a complete sentence. 1. Jean splled tomato juice on her essay. She had to print it out again.
Is this right?
Jean’s essay was counterproductive when she spilled the tomato juice.
That's a rather convoluted sentence. It also doesn't use "counterproductive" correctly.
How about?
Because Jean spilled tomato juice on her essay, she had to reprint it.
OK Thanks.
You're welcome.
Yes, you can combine the two sentences into one complete sentence. However, the suggested combined sentence, "Jean’s essay was counterproductive when she spilled the tomato juice," does not convey the information that Jean had to print it out again.
To include that detail, you can rephrase the sentence as follows:
"Jean had to print out her essay again after spilling tomato juice on it, making it counterproductive."
