Read the story below then
answer the questions that follow
My First Train Ride
Just as I woke up on Saturday
morning, my dad told me he has
a surprise! Though it wouldn’t
be revealed until 1 p.m., dad told
me that this surprise is
something that I was definitely
going to enjoy! As soon as I
heard about the surprise, I
jumped
out of the bed and got ready for the
day. Although I was busy getting ready,
I tried to keep guessing what the
surprise could be! Once it was 12:30
p.m., dad said that we needed to go to
the car so we could arrive at the
surprise on time. Once we were all
packed in the car, we left to drive to the
surprise. Until we arrived, I kept
thinking what the surprise could be.
Just as we pulled into a parking lot, I
saw a train. I asked dad if we are going
on a train ride, as soon as I asked him
he smiled. Before he could say anything
else, I knew that’s the surprise. Just as
we got out of the car, we heard the
buzzing from the train that its closing
and its ready to go. Even though we
don’t have running shoes, we ran to
make sure we hopped onto the train
before it leaves. While on the train, we
had a wonderful time and met many
people. Whenerver I see a train now, I
think of this fond memory. It was my
very first train ride.

 Let’s Study This

A conjunction is a word
that connects or joins
together words, phrases,
clauses, or sentences.
There are two kinds of
conjunctions. The
coordinating conjunctions
and the subordinating or
subordinate conjunctions.
Subordinating or
Subordinate Conjunctions
Subordinate conjunctions
connect or join a
dependent clause to an
independent clause in a
sentence. You can write
most sentences with a
subordinating conjunction
in one of two different
ways.
Example:
When my friends arrived, I was
still doing my homework.
I was still doing my homework
when my friends arrived.

If a sentence begins with a

subordinating conjunction, use
a comma to separate the two
clauses.
Here are some of the most commonly
used subordinating conjunctions.
After Before If So that When

Althoug By the In Than Whenever

h time case
As Even if Now the first Whether
that time or not
As soon Even Once Unless While
as though
because Every since until why
time
To remember some of the
subordinating conjunctions think of
the acronym AAAWWUUBBIIS.
They are also called the comma
users.
After…, Until…, If…,
Although…, Unless…, Since…,
As…, Because…,
When/whenever…, Before…,
While…, In case…,
Coordinating Conjunctions
Coordinating conjunctions coordinate
or join two or more sentences, main
clauses, words, or other parts of
speech of equal rank.
Example: You can eat your cake with a
spoon or fork.
My sister loves eating cake but
she hates getting fat.
Anna refuses to eat the cake nor
wants to taste the ice cream.
I hate to waste food, for it is costly
these days
It is easier to remember the
coordinating conjunctions if you think
of the word FANBOYS.
Coordinating Conjunctions Function
For Presents a reason
And Present non-contrasting ideas
Nor Present non-contrasting negative
ideas
But Presents contrast or exceptions
Or Presents an alternative item or idea
Yet Presents a contrast or exception
So Presents a consequence
 Let’s Do This
Read each group of subordinating
conjunctions and the pair of sentences
in each item. Choose the best
conjunction to combine the sentences.
Then, write the combined sentences on
the lines below.

1. While, unless , because She refuses

to speak to me. I apologize to her.
___________________________________________
2. Since, when, until You hear
what I have to say. Don’t say a
word.________________________________
3. While, whether, where I make
dinner. You can set the
table.________________________________
4. As if, even though, as soon as I
still couldn’t go. I’d finish my
homework._________________________
5. Although, as if, after Our
parents called us. We hurried
home.
Task 4. A Recipe for a Sentence

 What is a coordinating
conjunction?
What is a subordinating
conjunction?
Coordinating conjunctions are used to
join words, phrases, and sentences
together. Subordinating conjunctions
join a dependent clause to an
independent clause in a sentence.
