Ways other than て-form and たり～たり～ to connect several sentences and ideas together


I was wondering if someone can give me some examples because I don't remember
quite well from my Japanese classes (because we rarely used this following
way), how to connect more sentences? Until now I have mostly used the て form
and たり～たりする form, but I remember that there was another way, and I want to
know if I'm right, **by using the stems of the verbs**. I vaguely remember a
sentence from one of my textbooks and that's why I wanted a reminder of some
sort.

I'm sorry if I didn't explain it quite well, because I don't remember the rule
on how to construct sentences like that. Most of the time, me and my
classmates resorted to the て form and made very very short phrases back then.




In written Japanese (only) you can connect sentences using the "-masu stem".
This is very common in newspapers.

This is from [NHK
news](https://www3.nhk.or.jp/news/html/20180718/k10011538811000.html?utm_int=news_contents_news-

> ヨーロッパ委員会は３年前から調査を進めてきましたが、グーグルの手法が、日本の独占禁止法に当たるＥＵ競争法に違反すると最終的に **判断し**
> 、43億ユーロ余り、日本円にしておよそ5700億円の制裁金を科すと発表しました

The above bolded verb is just the stem (of a する verb). It has the same meaning
as the て-form.
