Question

Combine the sentences using the appropriate connectors:
We ran after the bus. We couldn't catch it.
​

Answer 1

Explanation:

We ran after the bus but could't catch it.

Answer 2

Answer:

Though we ran after the bus yet we couldn't catch it.

Explanation:

Connectors are conjunctions that join or link two phrases or clauses or sentences. Examples of conjunctions are and, so, if, but etc. In the above sentence, the conjunctions used are though, yet. These two words create a sense of condition or a doubt.

Though shows that even if something is happening, yet expresses that the desired result is not achieved. The two connectors together make the sentence a compound one joining the two main clauses, ‘we ran after the bus’, ‘we couldn’t catch it’.
