What’s New
Read the text and answer the following questions.
My father is a quiet person and a pet lover. On weekends, he stays at home
or visits some pet shops. My brother wants pets too, so he always feeds the
chicken in his farm. Father noticed this, so he started a small poultry business.
Why did father start a small poultry business?
What about you, do you also have pets? How do you show love to them?
Noticed that in the paragraph, there are italicized words. What do you
call these words?
Words that join other words, phrases or clauses in a sentence are called
conjunctions.
A compound sentence is made up of two or more independent clauses
connected by the coordinating conjunctions (FANBOYS) for, and, nor, but, or,
yet and so. Sometimes a semicolon (;) is used as a conjunction to replace and.
Cause-and-effect relationship describes what happens and explains
why it happens.
The cause tells us why it happens. The effect tells us what happens.
Compound sentences show cause and effect relationship.
Example:
1.My daughter got sick. My daughter got sick so we had to
We had to cancel our trip. cancel our trip.
2. Mother bought medicine. Mother bought medicine and her
Her daughter drank it. daughter drank it.
3. She took her medicine on time. She took her medicine on time for she
She wanted to be healed. wanted to be healed.

What I Can DO

combining two sentences into one. Use conjunctions and, for, and, so to fill in the
blanks.

What I Have Learned
A compound sentence is made up of two or more independent clauses
connected by the coordinating conjunctions (FANBOYS) Conjunctions for,
and, yet, and so are used to connect clauses that show cause-effect
relationship.

A cause-effect relationship describes what happens and why it happens.
Cause is the reason why a thing happens.
Effect is the result of something.
A complex sentence is a sentence that contains independent clause and
dependent clause. The dependent clause begins with a subordinating
conjunction such as after, before, because, although, when, since, if,
whenever, unless, while, so that, even though.
Example:
He chased the mouse because he wanted to catch it.
(independent clause) (conjunction) (dependent clause)
