Joining of Sentences

[Tan Elaine]

I opened the cage. The parrot flew out right away.
In joining the sentences are the words in bold needed?

The parrot flew out right away as soon as I opened the cage.

Thanks.

They are not needed.

Re: Indirect Speech

You don't need right away in the single sentence version.

Tan Elaine, please give your threads more meaningful titles, such as The parrot flew out right away.

Re: Indirect Speech has nothing to do with your question.

Re: Indirect Speech

Sorry and thanks for pointing our the error, Rover.

It should be 'Joining of Sentences'. I will edit the title.

Please don't - that's just boring.

Think how eye-catching and interesting The parrot flew out right away would be.
