This document provides rules for synthesizing and transforming information from source materials. It outlines 5 key rules: 1) Avoid repeating subjects with the ellipsis rule, 2) Follow subject-verb agreement rules for present tense verbs, 3) Use "although" instead of "but", 4) Link causes and effects using words like "so" and "therefore", and 5) Attribute effects to causes using "because".

1. SYNTHESIS & TRANSFORMATION
1. Ellipsis rule
• Avoid repetition of subject
2. Subject-Verb Agreement (only for
present tense)
• Singular subject – verb with “s”
• Plural subject – verb without “s”

2. SYNTHESIS & TRANSFORMATION
3. “Although” rule – no buts
4. Cause & effect linkage – “so”, “thus”,
therefore”, “hence”
5. “Effect” attributed to “cause” –
“because”
