SENTENCE COMBINATION, May 3rd, 2010

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: In many countries, Mother’s Day is celebrated in early May.
Sentence 2: In some countries Mothering Sunday is a church celebration held in March.
Sentence 3:  The date of the celebration is irrelevant as the significant thing is to honour the importance of our mothers in our lives.

In many countries, Mother’s Day is celebrated in early May, yet in some countries it is church celebration held in March; nonetheless, the date of the celebration is irrelevant as the significant thing is to honour the importance of our mothers in our lives.

MAYA: Yes, but note that it should be "a church"

Ooops, sorry about that. My eyes read it as "a church" every time I revised it before posting. They must have tired out by the time I reached this question.

MAYA: yes, sometimes our brains are just too smart for us;-)

While Mother's Day is mostly celebrated in early May, some countries hold a church celebration called Mothering Sunday in March;however, the date is irrelevant as the significant thing is to honour the importance of our mother in our lives.
