REWRITE AS SIMPLE SENTENCE

To convert a sentence into a simple sentence by removing subordinate or coordinate conjunctions, you can follow these steps:

1. Identify the main clause in the sentence. This is the clause that expresses the main idea of the sentence. 

 2. Remove any subordinate or coordinate conjunctions (such as "although," "because," "and," "or," etc.) that connect the main clause to other clauses. 

 3. Make necessary changes to keep only one clause i.e. one subject one finite verb in the sentence. 

 4. Make use of gerund, present participle and infinitive to make simple sentence. 

5.  Check the sentence for grammatical accuracy and clarity. Make any necessary revisions to ensure the simple sentence is clear and easy to understand.

Subordinate किंवा co-ordinate संयोग काढून वाक्याला साध्या वाक्यात रूपांतरित करण्यासाठी, तुम्ही या चरणांचे अनुसरण करू शकता: 

1. वाक्यातील मुख्य clause ओळखा. 

2. Conjunction  (जसे की "although," "because," "and," "or," इ.) काढून टाका जे मुख्य वाक्य इतर वाक्याशी जोडतात. 3. वाक्यात फक्त एकच क्लॉज म्हणजेच एक विषय एक मर्यादित क्रियापद ठेवण्यासाठी आवश्यक बदल करा. 4. साधे वाक्य बनवण्यासाठी gerund, present participle आणि infinitive चा वापर करा. 5. व्याकरणातील अचूकता आणि स्पष्टतेसाठी वाक्य तपासा. साधे वाक्य स्पष्ट आणि समजण्यास सोपे आहे याची खात्री करण्यासाठी आवश्यक पुनरावृत्ती करा.
