I have a paragraph text written in two columns, which I balanced equaliy into two columns. Now I want to continue with one column paragraph at the same page. However, when I switch to one column, latex skips to next page. I tried to implement the problem with a very simple code and the image below is showcasing the problem and what I'm intending to. Is there a way of solution to this problem? I would appreciate your suggestions.

\documentclass[10pt,a4paper,twoside,twocolumn, english]{report}
\usepackage{lipsum, babel}
\usepackage[modern, nospread, debug, keeplastbox, checkfloat]{flushend}
\begin{document}
\flushcolsend
\lipsum[1-2]
\twocolumn[{\lipsum[3-4]}]
\end{document}

Both \onecolumn and \twocolumn start new pages. OTOH, you can fake it with \afterpage and multicol. See https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/477188/removing-the-space-in-the-page-before-appendix/477197?r=SearchResults&s=2|19.6792#477197 – John Kormylo Aug 20 '21 at 01:55
@JohnKormylo that worked well. Thank you. – kgntci Mar 13 '22 at 16:12
You might also look at the cuted package. – John Kormylo Mar 13 '22 at 17:37
