I can’t finish this without the sentence pairs — please paste them here.
Explanation & instructions
To match and rewrite pairs with and:
- Match sentences that logically go together (same idea, same subject, or related actions).
- If the same subject performs both actions, combine by keeping the subject once and joining verbs:
- Example: “She went to the store.” + “She bought milk.” → “She went to the store and bought milk.”
- If the same auxiliary/modal is used, you can combine verbs after the auxiliary:
- Example: “Tom can swim.” + “He can run fast.” → “Tom can swim and run fast.”
- If different subjects perform different actions, keep both subjects and join the clauses with and:
- Example: “I finished my homework.” + “My brother washed the dishes.” → “I finished my homework and my brother washed the dishes.”
- Watch tense and subject agreement; remove repeated words (like repeated subject or repeated auxiliary) when appropriate.
Quick examples
- Pair: “She studies hard.” + “She gets good grades.”

Rewritten: “They arrived early and waited outside.”
