Co-ordinating Conjunctions - Worksheet

A comprehensive worksheet on co-ordinating conjunctions is designed to enhance the understanding of English grammar for students. The worksheet presents a variety of exercises aimed at identifying and using conjunctions correctly within sentences. The initial task asks students to circle the conjunctions in a list and to underline them within given sentences, such as "Jake and Riley like football" and "It is hot so I am going to the beach." This helps to reinforce the recognition of conjunctions in their natural context.

Subsequent activities on the worksheet involve selecting the appropriate conjunction to join two sentences together, such as choosing between "and" or "but" to correctly complete the sentence "Ben wants pizza. Ben wants pasta." Students are also challenged to insert the correct conjunctions into sentences to ensure they make logical sense. For example, they must decide between "and" or "but" in sentences like "I like tennis. Football is my favourite." To further test their understanding, students are asked to identify sentences that have been correctly joined by conjunctions, and to correct those that have not, ensuring they grasp the nuances of conjunction use and can apply them effectively in their writing.
