The 4th of July is a date on which the United States independence is celebrated, to remember the date on which this document was accepted by the Continental Congress.

What do you think? :thinking: Too many "dates"?

I wrote 'his' waiting to be corrected, because I wasn't sure.:)

Thanks.

Thanks! :)

I would say "its", although I'm not a native English-speaker. :thinking: :)

That sounds a bit stuffy.... How about: United States' independence is celebrated on the 4th of July to remember that this was the date on which (or when) this document was accepted by the Continental Congress.

It was the "this date being when" part. That's not something I would ever say or write.... :)

It's probably more an academic style than a British one.
