A Journey to the Magical Mountains
Joining words
Learn joining words that join two words or sentences.
Joining words (conjunctions) join two words or two sentences together. On page 121 of your book, Santoor, you meet four of them.
'And' adds more: I have a dog and a cat. 'Or' gives a choice: Do you want an apple or a banana? 'But' shows a difference: I was tired, but I finished my homework. 'Because' gives a reason: I stayed inside because it was raining.
On pages 121 and 122, you join sentences with the right word. Here are some. 'I wanted to go out. It was too late.' becomes: I wanted to go out, but it was too late. 'We can go to the zoo. We can go to the aquarium.' becomes: We can go to the zoo or to the aquarium.
'He was happy. He got a new toy.' becomes: He was happy because he got a new toy. 'He ran fast. He missed the bus.' becomes: He ran fast, but he missed the bus. 'Aman has a pen. Aman has a pencil. Aman has an eraser.' becomes: Aman has a pen, a pencil and an eraser.
To choose, ask: am I adding something (and), giving a choice (or), showing a difference (but), or giving a reason (because)?
