*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 1: Canada Day fell on a Tuesday this year.
Sentence 2: The 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.

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

Good try, krisla, but you have a comma splice at "still".

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.
