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

Spring is particularly appreciated in a country like Canada, where most people experience a very long winter specially this one, which as seemed longer than most, with snow still on the ground in many places.

Good try, Audrey!

But what about the first sentence?

Maybe we could say something like:

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 parts of the country, so many people in Canada are looking forward to spring.
