Parts of speech Conjunctions Focus Conjunctions Definition • Conjunctions are joining words which can be used to connect words, phrases, clauses or sentences. Example: black and white a fast car but difficult to control The man carried an umbrella because he thought it might rain. Explanation • Using conjunctions enables a writer to build and combine ideas and avoid needless repetition. • Conjunctions can join: – one word with another, such as: cold and wet – one adjective with another, such as: The girl was hot and tired. – one sentence with another, such as: It was raining so I took an umbrella. Worksheet information • It is not necessary to include the subject twice when joining clauses or sentences. For example, joining ‘I went to the shop’ and ‘I bought some fruit’ becomes: ‘I went to the shop and bought some fruit’. Notice the second ‘I’ has been omitted. Students practise this in Question 2. Ideas for further practice • Create a ‘conjunctions’ poster for your classroom to help students write interesting sentences. • Students reread their most recent piece of creative writing text and rewrite it, adding conjunctions to join shorter sentences and to make them more interesting. Answers 1. (b) To begin, you need to decide on a good location. The ocean is full of fish but a boat is usually required to get to them. A river is simpler because you can sit on the bank; although, you will have to wait for the fish to come to you. To fish, you will need a rod, fishing line, the correct bait, perhaps some worms or frozen fish, and some sinkers and hooks. When you feel a tug on the line, yank the rod, but not too hard or the fish might get away. You will also need a bucket to store your catch and, most of all, lots of luck! 2. (a) The drink was hot and sweet. (b) The lion looked fierce and proud. (c) Chloe and Tim love playing cricket. 3. (a) Mum and Dad were having a party because it was their anniversary.
