Participal

Hello Mr.Mica Sir /Clive

1. I saw my friend. I ran forward to meet him.

I have to combine the above two sentences in one like -

a) Seeing my friend, I ran forward to meet him.

The teacher told that when both the sentences are in simple past (as given above) and subjects of the sentences are the same do the following-

- change the action world of the first sentence into -ing form that is "seeing" and the rest part of the sentece and put comma and write the another sentence.

But what about if the senteces are like

1. Gul wastes a lot of time. She travels to school.

Here both the sentences are in the simple present tense. How do I change it ?

Thanks.

They both happen at the same time. Just don't make the same mistake of leaving out her name! " Sometimes you change the first sentence to a participle.
