Simple to Compound Sentence Transformation 🔹 Rule 1: Present Participle at the Beginning Rule: A simple sentence that starts with a present participle (verb + ing) can be changed into a compound sentence by: Converting the present participle into a verb that matches the sentence's tense. Using the same subject for both actions. Replacing the comma with “and”  to connect the two clauses. Explanation: The participle expresses an action that happened first, and in compound form, it becomes a full clause joined with “and”  to express both actions clearly. Examples: Simple: Taking the money, the boy went away. Compound: The boy took the money and went away. Simple: Eating a balanced diet, he built a good health. Compound: He ate a balanced diet and built good health. Additional Examples: Simple: Opening the door, she entered the room. Compound: She opened the door and entered the room. Simple: Finishing the work, I went to bed. Compound: I finished the work and went to bed. Simple: Watching TV, the children laughed loudly. Compound: The children watched TV and laughed loudly. 🔹 Rule 2: “Being” at the Beginning Rule: When a simple sentence begins with “being” , change it by: Using the subject before “being”. Converting “being” into a form of “am/is/are/was/were”  as per tense. Connecting the result clause with “and so”  or simply “and” . Explanation: “Being” indicates a state or reason. In compound form, we split this into two statements joined with “and so”  to express cause-effect clearly. Examples: Simple: Being rich, he bought a car. Compound: He was rich and so he bought a car. Simple: Being healthy, he can work more. Compound: He is healthy and so he can work more. Exception:  If subjects are different: Simple: The sum being very difficult, I cannot solve it. Compound: The sum is very difficult and so I cannot solve it. Additional Examples: Simple: Being kind, she helped the poor. Compound: She was kind and so she helped the poor. Simple: Being tired, he went to bed early. Compound: He was tired and so he went to bed early. Simple: The task being simple, we finished it quickly. Compound: The task was simple and so we finished it quickly. 🔹 Rule 3: “In Spite of” Rule: To convert a sentence with “in spite of” : Change the phrase into a full clause using appropriate tense. Use the same subject in both parts. Join with “but”  or “yet” . Explanation: “In spite of” shows contrast. In compound form, we create two contrasting clauses using but  or yet . Examples: Simple: In spite of his merit, he did not get a good job. Compound: He had merit but he did not get a good job. Simple: Being honest, he could not tell a lie. Compound: He was honest and so he could not tell a lie. Additional Examples: Simple: In spite of his illness, he went to work. Compound: He was ill but he went to work. Simple: In spite of the rain, they continued the match. Compound: It was raining but they continued the match. Simple: In spite of her beauty, she failed in the competition. Compound: She was beautiful but she failed in the competition. 🔹 Rule 4: “Too…to” Structure Rule: Change “too…to”  into “very… and so”  to form a compound sentence. Explanation: “Too…to” implies inability due to intensity. In compound form, we express the intensity as a cause with “and so”  indicating the result. Examples: Simple: He is too weak to walk. Compound: He is very weak and so he cannot walk. Simple: She was too short to touch the roof. Compound: She was very short and so she could not touch the roof. Additional Examples: Simple: The road is too narrow to drive safely. Compound: The road is very narrow and so we cannot drive safely. Simple: It was too dark to see anything. Compound: It was very dark and so we could not see anything. Simple: He is too lazy to study. Compound: He is very lazy and so he does not study. 🔹 Rule 5: Adjective After Object Rule: Use: Subject + verb + object + and + it/they + auxiliary verb + adjective Explanation: When an object is qualified by an adjective in a simple sentence, break it into two parts in a compound form using “and” . Examples: Simple: He bought a big fish. Compound: He bought a fish and it was big. Simple: I helped a poor boy. Compound: I helped a boy and he was poor. Additional Examples: Simple: She sang a sweet song. Compound: She sang a song and it was sweet. Simple: He painted a beautiful picture. Compound: He painted a picture and it was beautiful. Simple: They built a strong house. Compound: They built a house and it was strong. 🔹 Rule 6: Infinitive Expressing Intention Rule: If a simple sentence uses an infinitive to express intention or purpose, convert it by using “wants/wanted to”  or “and so”  to show cause and result. Explanation: Infinitives often express purpose. In compound form, separate purpose and action using “and so” . Examples: Simple: He goes to the library to read. Compound: He wants to read and so he goes to the library. Simple: The farmer irrigated the land to grow crops. Compound: The farmer wanted to grow crops and so he irrigated the land. Additional Examples: Simple: She works hard to earn money. Compound: She wants to earn money and so she works hard. Simple: I came here to meet you. Compound: I wanted to meet you and so I came here. Simple: They called a doctor to treat him. Compound: They wanted to treat him and so they called a doctor. 🔹 Rule 7: Sentences with Adverbs like Truly, Suddenly, etc. Rule: If a sentence starts with adverbs like truly, suddenly, accidentally, certainly, surely, surprisingly , then express the main clause first and turn the adverb into a separate clause.

A Kind Hearted Boy One day, while making his way home from school, a boy named Ahsanullah witnessed an elderly woman lying senseless on a busy road. With no one else around to offer assistance, the boy quickly sprang into action. Aware of the dangers posed by the speeding buses and trucks plying the road, Ahsanullah, with the help of a passerby, moved the woman to the safety of the footpath. He then promptly summoned a rickshaw and transported the old woman to a nearby hospital. Upon arrival, medical professionals attended to the woman and assured the boy that her condition was not serious. With the aid of their ministrations, the woman soon regained her senses. Having saved the woman's life, Ahsanullah then inquired about her situation. She revealed that she had come to town from a nearby village to beg. The noise of a truck horn had startled her, and she had subsequently fainted. Moved by the woman's plight, the kind-hearted boy then took the woman to his home, where he provided her with sustenance and comfort. In addition, his mother offered the woman some of her old clothes, as well as a sum of money to help her return to her village. Overwhelmed by the boy's compassion and generosity, the woman prayed fervently for his well-being before departing, her heart full of gratitude. Through his selfless actions, Ahsanullah demonstrated that even small acts of kindness can make a significant impact in the lives of others. Moral : A Kind-Hearted Boy Ahsanullah was a schoolboy who always tried to help others. One day, after finishing his classes, he was walking home when he noticed an old woman lying on the road. She was unconscious, and no one was there to help her. The road was very busy, with fast-moving buses and trucks. The woman was in great danger of being run over by a vehicle. Ahsanullah quickly ran to her and, with the help of a passer-by, carefully moved her to the footpath. Then, he called a rickshaw and took her to the nearest hospital. At the hospital, the doctors immediately examined the old woman. After checking her, they assured Ahsanullah that her condition was not serious. She had only fainted from shock. After receiving first aid, she slowly regained consciousness. When the woman opened her eyes, Ahsanullah gently asked about her home and how she had ended up on the road. The old woman explained that she had come from a nearby village to the town to beg. But as she was walking, she suddenly heard the loud sound of a truck horn. The noise frightened her so much that she became dizzy and lost consciousness. Hearing this, Ahsanullah felt pity for the poor woman. He decided to take her to his house. When they arrived, he offered her a good meal, and his mother kindly gave her some old clothes. Seeing Ahsanullah’s kindness, his mother also gave the woman some money to return to her village. The old woman was deeply touched by their kindness. She thanked Ahsanullah and his mother from the bottom of her heart. Before leaving, she prayed for the boy, wishing him a bright and happy future. With joy in her heart, she returned to her village, grateful for the kindness she had received. Read the beginning of the following story and  complete it in your own way.
