*SENTENCE COMBINATION*

Learning to combine ideas into more complex sentences is an important writing skill. There are many ways to do this. Try to combine the following three sentences.

Sentence 1Canada Day fell on a Tuesday this year.
Sentence 2The fireworks display was spectacular, but it started very late because of the long daylight hours.
Sentence 3: The July 1st holiday was a great way to start the new month.

Canada Day fell on Tuesday this year, which is also the July 1st holiday was a great way to start the new month, so the firework display was spectacular, but it started very late because of the long daylight hours.

Good try, both of you.

Here is a possibility:

The July 1st Canada Day holiday, which fell on a Tuesday this year, was a great way to start the new month, and the fireworks display was spectacular -- though it started very late because of the long daylight hours.
