Conjunctions

are words that connect sentences.

For example:
1. Mom received a present.
2. She doesn’t like it.
How would you join
these two sentences with:
and, or, but, or so?

Mom received a present, ___ she doesn’t like it.
How would you join

And the answer is:
Mom received a present, but she doesn’t like it.
We use but because it connects two
sentences with contrasting
ideas.

Another example:
1. My aunt wants to eat sweets.
2. She is on a diet.
How would you join

My aunt wants to eat sweets, ___she is on a diet.
How would you join

And the answer is:
My aunt wants to eat sweets, but she is on a diet.
We use but again because
it connects two sentences
with contrasting ideas
once again.

Another example:
1. Susie has to go to school.
2. She is ready.
How would you join

Susie has to go to school, ___ she is ready.
How would you join

And the answer is:
Susie has to go to school, and she is ready.
We use and because it
indicates connection or
addition.

And we have another example:
1. Eat your veggies.
2. You will not go out to play.
How would you join

Eat your veggies, __ you won’t go out to play.
How would you join

And the answer is:
Eat your veggies, or you won’t go out to play.
We use or because it
gives you two choices.

We have another example:
1. My dog ate my homework.
2. I could not bring it.
How would you join

My dog ate my homework, __ I could not bring it.
How would you join

And the answer is:
My dog ate my homework, so I could not bring it.
We use so because it
shows the consequence
of another event.

I have too many things to do, but the
teacher had to send homework.
