Composing Clear and Coherent Sentences Using Appropriate
Grammatical Structures: Conjunctions.

PRETEST

Directions: Combine the two sentences into one sentence by adding a

coordinating conjunction.

4. I have to stay here in Cavite, I really don’t want to.

RECAP
We have learned that an adverb is a word used to modify verbs and
adjectives. Adverbs of degree describe the intensity of something. For
example, “too” hot or “extremely” happy or “hardly” heard. Other common
adverbs of intensity are “almost”, “completely”, and “enough”.
 LESSON

A conjunction is a part of speech that connects two words, sentences,

phrases, or clauses. It is often used to join sentences together. The most
common conjunctions include and, or, and but.

We have 3 kinds of conjunctions such as coordinating, subordinating,

and correlative conjunction.

Just remember this acronym FANBOYS (for, and, nor, but, or, yet and so)

But before that let’s read and analyze the following sentences.

David has to wake

David has to he can help up early, so he can
so
wake up early clean the help clean the
house. house.

David has to wake up early, so he can help clean the house.

What is the conjunction used in the first example? The answer is SO.

Do you know what are the benefits of waking up early for children?

So starting today class lets all wake-up wake early.

Now let’s proceed to the second sentence.

May loves to cook, but she needs a new gas stove.
What is the conjunction used in this sentence? The answer is BUT.

May loves to cook,

May loves to she needs a
but but she needs a
cook, new gas
new gas stove.
stove.

Do you know the importance of a stove in a house?

But always remember that you are not allowed to play a gas stove. It is not
safe for children like you.

Let’s discuss the conjunctions: for, and, nor, but, or, yet and so.
Remember the acronym FANBOYS.

For - explains reason or purpose (just like "because")

I want to make a video call, for I long to see his face.

And – adds one thing to another (in addition to)

I am a vegetarian, and I don’t eat any meat.
Nor – used to present an alternative negative idea (and not)
James neither knew her telephone number nor her home address.

But – shows contrast (however)

I know the answer, but I can’t tell you.

Or – presents an alternative or a choice (either)

We could help wash the dishes or we could wipe the windows.

Yet – introduces a contrasting idea(but)

I always take a book to my room, yet I never seem to turn a single page.

So – indicates effect, result or consequence

My daughter is very smart, so everybody loves her.

Those are examples of conjunctions. Do you have any more questions

class regarding conjunctions? If none. Let’s try these activities to see if you
understand our lesson today.
