*SENTENCE COMBINATION*

Learning to combine ideas into more complex sentences is an important writing skill. There are many ways to do this. Try to combine the following three sentences. Do not use a semi-colon.
Sentence 1: Justin Trudeau is the Prime Minister of Canada.
Sentence 2: He is the son of former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau.
Sentence 3: He is very popular.

Good try, both of you!

Leah, you do not need a comma before "and" if you are listing only two things.
Enya, you need a comma on both sides of the PM's name.
