How do you join two simple sentences to form one sentence donot use conjunction?

You can join two simple sentences without using conjunctions by using these methods:

1. Semicolon (;)

* Example: The sky was a brilliant blue; the sun shone brightly.

2. Colon (:)

* Example: The children were excited: they were going to the zoo.

3. Dash (-)

* Example: She was nervous - this was her first job interview.

4. Using a Participle

* Example: Walking through the park, she noticed the beautiful flowers. (The participle "Walking" modifies the subject "she".)

5. Using an Absolute Phrase

* Example: The wind howling, the old house creaked and groaned. (The absolute phrase "The wind howling" modifies the entire sentence.)

6. Using an Appositive

* Example: My dog, a golden retriever, loves to play fetch. (The appositive "a golden retriever" renames the noun "dog".)

Important Note:

* The semicolon, colon, and dash are all punctuation marks that can be used to join two independent clauses (complete sentences).

* The other methods (participle, absolute phrase, and appositive) are grammatical structures that can be used to connect ideas without using conjunctions.
