Not sure know how to join these two sentences together #1 (permalink) Wed Sep 30, 2009 21:02 pm   Not sure know how to join these two sentences together
 

Hi, teachers

I would like to ask how to join the following sentences together:
(1) With his 18 years of working experience,
Peter is confident that he will help the new comers to develop the skills necessary for the company business.
(2) With his 18 years of working experience,
Peter is confident that he will help certify his colleagues.

I am not sure if this is correct:
With his 18 years of working experience,
Peter is confident that he will help the new comers to develop the skills necessary for the company business, and that he will help certify his colleagues.

Please correct me if I am wrong, teachers.

Thank you.

Kitty

With his 18 years of work experience, Peter is confident that he will be able to help newcomers develop necessary skills and help colleagues gain certification.

Thank you so much for the help, Mister Micawber.

I would like to ask when we should add the word "that" after and?
for example, I had ever seen some sentences like this on the Internet:
He said that he is not a lawyer for anyone, and that he endeavors to help those who need him.

It is often a style choice. In your last example, the two ideas are two different views of the same point, and 'and that' sets up the distinction better. In your earlier sentence, it is just a list of 2 things he will do.
