Our Acrostic Poems!!!

Sunny, sunny, sunny day
Under the hot sun during the day
Never will be cold in the day.


Dean is my friend
Everyone likes him
Anyone who meets him
Never will scold him.

Synthesis Rules! (who, that, which)

Hi guys! Just a little note in case some of you did not have enough time to copy the rules that we discussed and learned about today.

These rules are particularly for combining sentences using the conjunctions who, which and that. Remember: 'who' is used to refer to people only.

Rule 1:
Find the common noun in both sentences (i.e. find the noun that is repeated).

Rule 2:
Make the noun that you have identified in Rule 1 the Subject of your combined sentence. You should thus start the combined sentence with this noun followed by the conjunction given.

Common Noun + that/who/which + phrase 1 + phrase 2

Rule 3:
In some cases, one of the phrase identifies the Subject. In this case, this identifying phrase should be written first.

Common Noun + that/who/which + identifying phrase + phrase 2


That's it! Do remember these rules during your exams!!!!
