Question

The French Revolution drove many priests from France and they came to the United States and assisted Bishop Carroll, opening Catholic schools wherever possible.

Answer 1

There's not too much wrong with your sentence. Maybe change it to:

The French Revolution caused many priests to be driven from France to the United States. Once in America, they assisted Bishop Carroll, a catholic priest, in opening Catholic schools wherever possible.

A lot of the sentence changing is interpretive and each person has their own way of saying it. I chose to split up the sentence into two sentences because your sentence was a run-on. You also said "The French Revolution drove many preists from France" which makes it sound like the French Revolution was a group of people, not an event.

Answer 2

The French Revolution drove many priests from France. They came to the United States, and assisted Bishop Carroll in opening Catholic schools wherever possible.

Answer 3

The French Revolution drove many priests from France. Then,they came to the United States and assisted Bishop Carroll, opening Catholic schools wherever possible.

Answer 4

After being driven to the United States, during the French Revolution, many priests Helped Bishop Carroll open Catholic schools.

Answer 5

The French Revolution drove many priests from France to the United States where they assisted Bishop Carroll in opening Catholic schools.


Assuming you want to start with one sentence and correct it to one sentence.

Answer 6

Because so many priests were imprisoned or massacred during the French Revolution, many decided to emigrate to America where, with the help of Bishop Carroll, many opened Catholic Schools.
