*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. Do not use a semi-colon.

Sentence 1: Many people in Canada are looking forward to spring.
Sentence 2: Spring is particularly appreciated in a country where most people experience a very long a long winter.
Sentence 3: This winter has seemed longer than most, with snow still on the ground in many places.

There is a grammatical error in sentence 2: "a very long a long winter."

This winter has seemed longer than most, with snow still on the ground in many places, so many people in Canada are looking forward to spring which is particularly appreciated in a country where most people experience a very long winter.

Thanks for pointing out the typo, Leah!

I think you answer could be organized a little differently. Here is a possibility:

"Spring is particularly appreciated in a country where most people experience a very long winter, and this winter has seemed longer than most, with snow still on the ground in many places, so many people in Canada are looking forward to spring."
