I didn't enjoy the Victoria day weekend because Queen Victoria's birthday is not celebrated in the Philippines.
Vanessa:That's a good dependent clause; now can you try to write three more sentences using the grammatical structures indicated.
1.Enjoyed the Victoria Day weekend.
2. As soon everyone arrives on Friday we can all enjoy the Victoria Day weekend.
3. When I enjoyed the Victoria Day weekend, I felt relaxed and refreshed.
4. First time in a long time the weather was perfect and everyone enjoyed the Victoria day weekend
Satvinder:
#1: you haven't added anything--add a phrase.
#2: Yes, but watch the punctuation:)
#3: You have changed the main clause into another adverbial clause of time.
