Using Conjunctions to Extend Sentences

For each of these sentences, make up an extra information clause to add in. You will need to choose a
conjunction from the word list below (or your word mat) to begin your new clause in the space marked
with a line. Try to use a different conjunction for each sentence. Think carefully - the clauses will also
need punctuating correctly!

Look at this example:


e.g. Mum is coming to pick me up tonight  .

Mum is coming to pick me up tonight because I’m going to the dentist.

1. I never finished my homework  .

2. You’ll be late for school  .

3. I have trouble in Maths  .

4. Video games are great  .

5. Satnav systems are supposed to help drivers  .

6.  James wasn’t wearing his new coat.

7.  there will not be a school trip on Thursday.

8.  Qaseem has very dark hair.

9.  a letter goes out to remind parents about the school play.

10.  the cafeteria serves pizza on Fridays.

unless while because when if

although despite since whereas provided

Extension Challenge:
Can you add TWO extra clauses to the original sentence, using TWO different conjunctions, like
this example?

Mum is coming to pick me up tonight because I’m going to the dentist, despite the fact I went only a
month ago!
