Presentation
Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity

“Based on the activity that we have done, how “We can define the function of these words as
would you define the function of these words?” connectors, ma’am.”

“Why do you say so?” “It connects words and ideas, ma’am.”

“Good observation! So, what do you think is our “Conjunction, ma’am.”

topic for today?”
Discussion
Teacher’s Activity Student’s Activity

“That’s right. Conjunctions, that would be our

topic for today.”

“So, how would you define conjunction?” “Used to connect words, ma’am.”

“That’s right! Conjunctions function as connectors

of sentences and clauses. It connects a clause to
another clause.

“There are 3 kinds of conjunctions.”

- Coordinating Conjunction
- Subordinating Conjunction
- Correlative Conjunction

“Before we get into it, let’s tackle first the

dependent and independent clauses.”

“What is a dependent clause? Anyone?” “Dependent clause is a group of words that

expresses an incomplete thought and can’t stand
alone ma’am.”

“Yes! It needs to be attached to an

independent clause to have its meaning.”

“Very good. How about an independent clause?” “An independent clause is a group of words that
expresses a complete thought and can stand alone.”

“Indeed. An independent clause may also be

called a sentence.”

Example:
1. because of him
2. I learned how to start my own
business.
“Based on our example here which among the “The first example is our dependent example
example is a dependent clause?” ma’am.”
“Why do you think so?”

“Because it expresses an incomplete thought

ma’am.

“That’s right. How about example no.2?” “It’s an example of an independent clause ma’am
because it can stand alone and expresses a
complete thought.”

“For today we are just going to focus on the first

one which is the “Coordinating Conjunction.”

“So how should we define coordinating “Coordinating Conjunctions - It joins two

conjunction? Please read the definition class.” sentences or clauses with equal meaning. It
connects two independent clauses.
“There are seven (7) coordinating
conjunctions.”

“Remember the acronym, f

or
a nd
n or
b ut

y et
so

“First we have “for”. Please read the “We use for to show reason or purpose.”
definition.”

“For you to better understand I have some

examples here.”

The teacher will ask the students to read the EXAMPLES:

examples given. 1. I joined the English club, for my best
friend is also a member.
2. Sam drank some water, for he was
thirsty.
3. She put on a sweater, for it was cold
outside.

“If for is used to introduce a reason or purpose.

What do you think is the function of the
coordinating conjunction, and?”

“Anyone from the class who wants to try?” The student raises a hand.
“To add ideas, ma’am.”

“Exactly. We use and to add ideas to

sentences.”

The teacher will ask the students to read the EXAMPLES:

examples given. 1. I am tired, and I don’t like to go.
2. I love watching video tutorials, and I
also like answering worksheets.
3. Ken is not good in Math, and he also
struggles in his Science class.

“Take note that when both independent clauses

are positive + positive, or negative + negative you
should use coordinating conjunction and.”

“Okay, let’s proceed to the next one.”

“Please read the definition of nor, class.” “Nor means “also not”.” It indicates that both
options are not possible.”

The teacher will ask the students to read the EXAMPLE:

examples given. 1. I don’t eat fried rice, nor I don’t drink
milk.
2. John does not like swimming, nor she
 enjoys cycling.

“Before we proceed, do you have any questions?” “None ma’am.”

“Alright. Now, let’s move on to our next

coordinating conjunction, but.”

“I have here some examples, read.” EXAMPLES:

1. I like pizza, but my brother doesn’t like it.

“So what do you think is our definition of “But is used to show contrast or general
coordinating conjunction, but?” difference.”

“That’s right. But is used to connect a positive 2. I want to buy the camera, but it was
statement and a negative statement.” sold yesterday.
(positive+negative or negative+positive) 3. My mom loves to travel, but my dad
likes to stay home.

“Next coordinating conjunction is, or.” “ Or - It shows alternative or choice. It

indicates that both options are possible.”

“How about, or. What do you think is the

function of or? Please read.”

“Here are some examples.” EXAMPLE:

1. You must submit your project now, or I
will give you a failing grade.
2. Are we going to buy a gift now, or pick
up the cake first?

“Any questions before we proceed to our next “None ma’am.”

coordinating conjunctions?”

“Now let’s talk about our coordinating

conjunction, yet.”

“Please read the definition.” “Yet is used to express something unexpected,

“Here are some examples.” EXAMPLES:

1. He never studied, yet he got a perfect
score.
2. I studied for a month, yet I failed the
exam.
3. He doesn’t practice much, yet he is
always in first place.

“We are down to our last coordinating

 she got the freshest goods.
2. I need to install a camera on my computer,
so I can use it for online classes.
