Learning Objectives

Indicator: B7.3.1.1.6 - Use conjunctions accurately to link ideas in everyday discourse

By the end of the lesson, learners can:

Identify coordinating, correlative, subordinating conjunctions and adverbs that function as conjunctions in given sentences.
Join two simple sentences using an appropriate coordinating conjunction (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so) to show the correct relationship between ideas.
Construct original sentences using correlative conjunctions (either… or, neither… nor, not only… but also) correctly.
Use subordinating conjunctions (because, since, as, although, though, while, whereas) to link a dependent clause to a main clause in sentences about everyday situations.
Use adverb-conjunctions (until, after, before) to connect ideas in both speaking and writing.
