*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 1Father’s Day is not a holiday in Canada.
Sentence 2Father’s Day does fall on a Sunday, and many people do have that day off work.
Sentence 3It is good to see that Fathers are acquiring larger recognition for their role in bringing up their children.

It is good to see that fathers are acquiring larger recognition for their role in bringing up children, and although Father's Day is not a Canadian holiday, it does fall on a Sunday when many people have that day off work.

Although Father's Day is not a holiday in Canada, many people do have that day off work as it falls on a Sunday, because it is good to see that Fathers are acquiring larger recognition for their role in bringing up their children.

It's good to see Fathers are acquiring larger recognition for their role in bringing up their children, sadly; Father's Day is not a holiday in Canada, however, it does fall on a Sunday and many people have that day off work.

Good job, Jenniferri25 (and good job catching my mistake in captializing "father").

Krisla, your conjunction ("because") doesn't seem to make sense.

Swood, you need to review your punctuation (consider: "...their children; sadly, Father's Day...").
