You write the new sentence, and I'll check it for you.
1. Jena jumped four feet high. and she was landed in the foam pit 2. The team ran around the track. so it was soon tired.
Close. Good tries.
1. Jena jumped four feet high, and she landed in the foam pit.
Notice there's a comma after "high" since you don't want the sentence to end there -- but there's a period at the end of the sentence because it DOES end there. Also, that "she landed" (action verb), not "she was landed" (passive) which means someone else put her in the foam pit.
2. The team ran around the track. so it was soon tired.
What punctuation belongs after "track" so the sentence can continue?
Also, "it" refers to the whole team not its various members. It would be better to write this: ... so the runners were soon tired.
can you tell me the answer ok i told the coaches were impressed
To combine each pair of sentences, we need to connect the actions with appropriate verbs. Here are the new sentences:
1. Jena jumped four feet high and landed in the foam pit.
To create this sentence, we combine the actions of "jumped" and "landed" using the coordinating conjunction "and."
2. The team ran around the track, soon being tired.
In this sentence, we join the two actions of "ran around the track" and "was tired" using the present participle form of the verb "be" (being). Since "the team" is the subject of both sentences, we only need to mention it once.
