. Ivy, Vivian, Jan and I went to Africa twice last year, which was a great experience. Climbing those high mountains that rise above the plain was a lot of fun for the four of us. . _________________ Native English teacher at Mister Micawber's |

Thanks, Mister Micawber!
May I ask why it is not "Ivy, Vivian, Jan and I went to Africa twice last year, which were great experience.", because we went to Africa twice. _________________ 各位前輩安安, 我是kitty喔! |

. You are confusing imagination with grammar. You have two choices:
[We went to Africa twice last year,] which was a great experience.
We went to Africa [twice] last year, which were great experiences. . _________________ Native English teacher at Mister Micawber's |

| Which is correct: 'Hold me tight' vs 'Hold me tightly' | A step 'has come to a conclusion' but is not 'completion' |
