 Split Structure

Splitting a sentence is opposite to joining of a sentence.

In this, we had to break up or split a complex sentence
into two or more simple sentences.

Split Structure 16
 Rules in Splitting Sentences

1) Break a sentence into two or more sentences as

directed.
2) Each new sentence must be simple sentence.
3) Arrange sentences according to order as it happened.

Split Structure 17
 Examples; Splitting The Sentence

1. Scoring a goal he jumped with 1. He scored a goal.

joy. He jumped with joy.
2. In the morning they packed 2. It was morning. They packed.
and left. They left.
3. When the dog barked the thief 3. The dog barked. The thief run
