Conjunctions WC1.1 (5 th Grade) Identify and correctly use prepositional phrases, appositives, independent and dependent clauses; use transitions and conjunctions to connect ideas. (4 questions on CST)

Conjunctions Used to connect words, phrases, or clauses. Allows sentences to be less repetitive. Alice likes spaghetti. Alice likes meatballs. Alice likes spaghetti and meatballs. Allows writers to have varied sentence structure. Not just simple sentences.

7 Coordinating Conjunctions F = for A = and N = nor B = but O = or Y = yet S = so

“for” Connects ideas that follow logically. Often used in similar situations as the word “because” I hate to waste a single drop of squid eyeball stew, for it is expensive and time-consuming to make.

“and” Joins ideas of equal importance. The bowl of squid eyeball stew is hot and delicious.

“nor” Presents an alternate negative idea. Rocky won’t eat dry cat food, nor will he touch a saucer of squid eyeball stew.

“but” Used to show contrast or exception. Orlando is great at golf, but he’s a lousy baseball player.

“or” Shows choice, options, alternates, or substitutes for ideas of equal importance. You can have soup or salad with your meal.

“yet” Connects ideas that follow logically and are contrary. Orlando plays golf well, yet his favorite sport is baseball.

“so” Shows consequence of related ideas. Often used in similar situations as the word “therefore.” Christy has always been nervous in large gatherings, so it’s no surprise that she avoids her crowds of adoring fans.
