Conjunctions are parts of speech that are used to
connect sentences or *clauses.

Examples of conjunctions are but, and, if, so, yet. These

conjunctions are also called coordinating conjunctions. We will
also refer to them as basic conjunctions, or “joining words”.

There are many other categories of conjunctions such as:

subordinating conjunctions, time-related conjunctions, condition
conjunctions, and cause conjunctions.
A conjunction in a sentence will combine two parts of a single
sentence that otherwise might have been two sentences.

I have twenty apples. I have two pears. I have twenty apples and two pears.

My bed is messy. It is clean. My bed is messy, but it is clean.

I cleaned my room. Now I can play videogames. I cleaned my room so now

I can play videogames.
Today, we will focus on coordinating conjunctions. Let’s start by
identifying the joining words in the sentences below. .
1) I like cats and I like dogs.

2) I will eat spaghetti for dinner, or I will eat pizza for dinner.

3) She didn’t look at anyone’s test and nobody looked at hers.

4) I mowed the grass, so now I won’t have to mow it again until spring.
