Below are the questions in the

box.

Gary Soto is the story's author. Another
lesson Victor and I learnt was not to
lie. When the teacher placed him on the
spot, he was mortified. As we progress
through the novel, the plot twists and
turns, and other aspects of Victor

Anyone? How about Daniel? conjunctions.

Very good! You got it right.

There are seven coordinating

conjunctions but there are only
four present in the story.

A coordinating conjunction is a
conjunction that connects words,
phrases, and clauses that are coordinate,
or equal to each other. There are seven
coordinating conjunctions: for, and,
nor, but, or, yet, so. They can be
remembered using the acronym
FANBOYS.

This right here is the seven coordinating

conjunctions and its example.

1. For – I have to find a job, for I am

unemployed. .(reason)
2. And- She didn’t speak to anyone, and
nobody spoke to her. (in addition to)
3. Nor – I don’t expect children to be rude,
nor do I expect to be disobeyed. (also

myself a sandwich.

2. Generalization
What do you think will happen if
we communicate without
coordinating conjunctions?
Conjunctions have an important
function because they join other words
and phrases together. Without
conjunctions, we could only make

Okay, Jimbie let’s hear your
answer.
In your own words, what is
coordinating conjunction? Let’s
hear from Daniel.
Very Good Daniel!
Do you think, we can communicate
properly without coordinating
conjunctions? Why or why not?
How about Noel?
What lessons did you learn from the
story? How about Daftnie?
How do Victor's actions develop the
story's theme? How about Karen?
Very good Karen!
very, very simple sentences.
Coordinating conjunction is a word that
is used to connect words, phrases, and
clauses. (Answer may vary)
.
Coordinating conjunction is very
important because it helps us connect
words, phrases and clauses that make
our thoughts understandable when
communicating. (Answer may vary)
In my opinion communicating without
coordinating conjunctions would be
possible but I’m sure it’ll be a disaster,
without those conjunctions that glue
words together understanding a
message might become so confusing.
The lesson I learned in life was to
never lie. When the instructor forced
him to answer a question, he felt very
humiliated.
Victor makes funny faces throughout
the school day, as he believes that
making people laugh is the most
important thing. Victor is willing to do
anything to get Teresa's attention, even
if it means lying, because he likes her
so much.
