Sentence 1. Add a phrase - It has been a cool summer, this begs the question of when is summer really coming. Sentence 2. Add a dependent clause - It has been a cool summer, I hope Sentence 3. Add an independent clause - It has been a cool summer, I hope it warms up soon.
Sentence 1. Near Toronto, it has been a cool summer. Sentence 2. It has been a cool summer because I always have to wear my jacket. Sentence 3.It has been a cool summer, but that has not stopped me from going swimming.
Sentence 1: It has been a cool summer to date. Sentence 2: It has been a cool summer in my opinion. Sentence 3: It has been a cool summer and I am still waiting for the heat.
It has been a cool summer ... 1. It has been a cool summer at beginning. 2. It has been a cool summer until the scorching heat arrived. 3.It has been a cool summer, yet lots of people still think it is too hot.
Jacquelyn, your first and third sentences use comma splices. This is a problem you might want to review.
Suzanne, your second sentence seems to have the logic backwards. I think you mean "I always have to wear my jacket because It has been a cool summer".
Daryl, your second sentence adds a phrase.
Zhen, the present perfect ("has been") indicates that something began in the past and continues into the present, so it does not work well with time signals like "at" or "until".
