Revising Simple Sentences

We have been taking notes on prepositions, prepositional phrases, compound sentences, and complex sentences. This information should help you have better sentence variety in your writing. Below, you will see a few examples of simple sentences revised into compound and/or complex sentences.

Simple	Not Simple

Using your notes, revise the following simple sentences into compound, complex, or compound-complex sentences. You do not need to write the simple sentence, only your revised version. When necessary, you can add prepositional phrases, too. When making your revisions, be sure to properly use commas.
