*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: The French were the first Europeans to settle in what is now Canada.
Sentence 2: Many of the British who came to Canada went to the New England colonies first.
Sentence 3: The American War of Independence prompted many Loyalists to leave the colonies and head for Canada as it was still under British control.

American War of Independence prompted many Loyalists to leave the colonies and head for Canada as it was still under British control so Many of the British who came to Canada went to the New England colonies first but the French were the first Europeans to settle in what is now Canada.

Good job, Michèle! This wasn't easy!

Here's another possibility:

The French were the first Europeans to settle in what is now Canada, for many of the British who came to Canada went to the New England colonies first, before the American War of Independence prompted many Loyalists to leave the colonies and head for Canada as it was still under British control.
