Explanation
To combine means to join, mix, or bring things together to create something new. You can combine ingredients to make a cake, combine ideas to solve a problem, or combine efforts with friends to finish work faster. In farming, a “combine” is also a machine that harvests crops. The main idea is that combining creates something stronger, better, or more useful by putting different parts together. For example, “She combined flour and sugar to bake bread” or “The two companies combined to form a larger business.”
