Learning to combine ideas into more complex sentences is an important
skill in writing. There are many ways to do this--many possible bonus points!
Try to combine the following three sentences.
Sentence 1: Father’s Day is not a holiday in Canada.
Sentence 2:
Father’s Day does fall on a Sunday, and many people do have that day off work. Sentence 3: It is good to see that
Fathers are acquiring larger recognition for their role in bringing up their
children.

Father's Day is a day we recognize Fathers for their role in bringing up their children; even though it is not a holiday in Canada, it does fall on Sunday and many people do have that day off work.
CARMELLE: You have changed the meaning a little here, and you need to look for a missing piece of punctuation;-)
Father's Day is not a holiday in Canada, but it does fall on a Sunday, and many people do have the day off work; however it 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 their children; although it is not considered a holiday in Canada, Father's Day falls on a Sunday, and many people do have the day off work.
JESSICA: The second version is better--the first one has a missing comma;-)
