 GOING TO BED
by Marchette Chute

I am always told to hurry

up-
Which I’d be glad to,
If there were not so many
things
That need attending to
What is the speaker in the poem
always told to do?
 But first I have to find my
towel
Which fell behind the rack
And when a pillow’s thrown
at me
I have to throw it back

What is the first thing the speaker in

the poem says she must do before
going to bed?
 And then I have to get the
things
I need in bed with me
Like marbles and my birthday
train and Pete the chimpanzee.
I have to see my polliwog
Is safety in its pan,
And stand a minute on my
head to be quite sure I can.
What toys does she say she must take
to bed with her?
 I have to bounce upon my
head
To see if it will sink,
And then when I am covered
up
I find I need a drink.

What else does she say she must do

Look at these sentences
from the poem:

I was told to hurry up but I

have to find my towel first.
A pillow is thrown at me and
I have to throw it back.
How will I go to bed if there
were so many things to do?
Notice the underlined words but, and
and if. They are called conjunctions.
Conjunction is a joining
word. We use conjunctions
to join two words, phrases,
and clauses to make one
long sentence.
There are two types of
conjunctions:

1. Coordinating Conjunctions
2. Subordinating Conjunctions
Coordinating Conjunctions
join elements of a sentence
that are similar. They join
words, phrases, and clauses.
There are seven coordinating
conjunctions.They give equal
importance to the words
sentences they connect.
F- for
A- and
N- nor
B- but
O- or
Y- yet
S- so
For – shows reason or purpose
We went to Cebu for a family
vacation.
And – connects two or more
ideas
I like to eat cookies and I like
to drink milk.
Nor – shows a negative idea
He didn’t answer my calls nor
replied to my messages.
But – shows contrast
The dress is beautiful but it’s
expensive.
Or – shows choice or option
He could sing or he could
dance.
Yet – also shows contrast
He can be strict yet
understanding at the same
time.
So – shows consequence
All the computers are
broken, so they use their
smartphones.
